“We have lived our lives by the assumption that what was good for us would be good for the world. We have been wrong. We must change our lives so that it will be possible to live by the contrary assumption, that what is good for the world will be good for us. And that requires that we make the effort to know the world and learn what is good for it.– Wendell Berry
“My husband and I heard about his coworker having a fire at their house. We debated whether or not we could afford to donate to the collection.

We donated $50.00 and will figure out how to make due, meanwhile being thankful for what we do have.” — myfbil
