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.

The Inspirational Life of Environmentalist #WendellBerry
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.
https://www.kentucky.com/opinion/op-ed/article244191622.html
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.

““Maybe we could give up saving the world and start to live savingly in it.””
RIP Wendell Berry.

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.

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.

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."

Remembering Wendell Berry: Poet, visionary, correspondent, namer, and friend
I just read that Wendell Berry died on August 31. 😥
I liked his poetry. This is one of his more famous ones (screenshot) It resonates with me, as do some of his lesser known ones although they may be a bit old-fashioned? Anyways, if you don't know Wendell Berry, check out his Wikipedia page. He was quite an interesting person.

Stumbled on this YouTube 🫣 video of the poem beautifully visualised: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-ewB0WL3bNw

RE: https://hear-me.social/@SPF/113704837624293284
Farmer and poet Wendell Berry has died at 92. I wish I'd come across his books earlier in life. A great American, who wrote his own best eulogy:
"The old, whose bodies encrust their lives, die, and that is well.
They unhinder what has struggled in them.
"The light, painfully loved,
that narrowed and darkened in their minds
becomes again the sky.
"The young, who have looked on dying, turn back to the world, grown strangely alert to each other's bodies."
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
"The Peace of Wild Things"
Wendell Berry
Poet, farmer, environmental and antiwar activist. Berry died at 92 on August 31, 2026.

🌱 Rest in peace, Wendell Berry. A farmer, poet and powerful voice for caring for the land, community and future generations. His life reminded us that farming is not simply production🌵it is stewardship and relationship with the soil. His work continues to inspire regenerative agriculture and those working for a healthier planet. We carry the work forward. 🌍💚 #WendellBerry #RegenerativeAgriculture #SoilHealth #Farming #Permaculture
