Blog Watch: Wendell Berry & family ecology

Wendell Berry writes about family and marriage ecologically:

“We thus come again to the paradox that one can become whole only by the responsible acceptance of one’s partiality. But to encapsulate these partial relationships is to entrap and condemn them in their partiality… They are enlivened and given the possibilty of renewal by the double sense of particularity and generality: one lives in marriage and in sexuality, at home and in the world… it is impossible to care for each other more or differently than we care for the earth.”
