I love this part: "Be like the fox<br />who makes more tracks than necessary,<br />some in the wrong direction." <br /><br />I love that it calls on us to explore, to make tracks, to be recognized but to be careful as well.

I am trying to find my own way to help it come out good, Ruth. "Plant Sequoias" brings up a fond memory. An uncle'-in-law's father, in his eighties with a tiny farm planted two trees, measuring carefully. He said that someday someone would be able to hang a hammock there for summer rest. Would that we all would follow his, and Wendell Berry's advice.
