  1. More wisdom from Wendell Berry

    Pen: TWSBI Vac-700R EF nib
    Ink: Private Reserve Spearmint
    Paper: Wearingeul Nobile Pad 101gsm

    Not my best work. I still struggle with the alignment when I don't have a guide underneath.

    This paper isn't my favorite either, though I do like the weight. It's just slightly too absorbent and a bit scratchy.

  6. Wendell Berry may have written eloquently and said good things, but I doubt he was sincere about dealing with racism. At least it wasn’t terribly important to him.

    kentucky.com/opinion/op-ed/art

    In The Unsettling of America, I remember him praising the Amish and specifically pointing out their whiteness. And much more recent behavior - as noted in the article above - should be kept in mind.

    We need to be *anti-racist* if we want to be free. No tokenism. No relying on words alone.

  26. Wendell Berry

    Reflecting on his life and their friendship, Bill McKibben calls him “a great man“.

    Also thanks to his passing I became acquainted with this 2023 piece in Outside Magazine, by Nick Offerman, on his early relationship as “an obsessed fan” and eventual collaborator/friend.

  27. I didn't have a chance to post something earlier this week. I liked Wendell Berry a lot, so I'll likely share a few more of his in the next few days.

    This was written in 2005.

    Pen: Franklin-Christoph Model 31 Omnis
    Ink: Diamine Aurora Borealis
    Paper: JetPens Cosmo Air (cream) 75gsm

    I haven't been able to capture in a photo just how much sheen this ink has, especially on this paper.

  33. Farmer‑poet Wendell Berry’s environmental ethics were deeply rooted in his Christian faith and belief in caring for creation

    "The widely revered poet-farmer, who wrote passionately about rural American life and humans’ responsibility to care for the land, believed in practicing what he preached."
