Wise Words From a Book
A few years ago, my older brother (whom I always obey), suggested that this is a book worth reading. He was right - the author, Wendell Berry, has a wonderful way with words and thoughts - clearly defining ideas and feelings that we ordinary mortals have trouble clarifying. I've been re-reading this book recently, and am admiring all over again the wonderful phrases he uses. One quote this morning is a very good reminder for me - "Expectations is like a bucket of smoke". Maybe it means, "Just get over it and get on with life". What do you think?
