from "Google Privacy and a Wendell Berry Poem"
27 January 2012
So, what to do? Wendell Berry knew, way before Google existed:
So, friends, every day do something that won't compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands.
And he has some advice for us about how to know what is right in a world with so many questions:
Expect the end of the world. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. So long as women do not go cheap for power, please women more than men. Ask youself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth?
