“Everybody here comes from somewhere.” That’s R.E.M. “Somewhere is better than anywhere.” That’s Flannery O’Connor via Wendell Berry. Both these lines come to mind as I consider my association with Dorothy Day Dark. Her feats of attentiveness serve me on a daily basis. I’ve come to depend on them.
I stole your Wendell Berry quote for my latest post. But i guess that ok cause you borrowed it from Him! I heard that the most spiritual thing we do is in the daily observance of a normal day... I messed up that quote a little but I think you get it... kinda similar to seeing the sacreness in things that we normally ignore. Doing the dishes. sacred. making breakfast for kids sacred. walking outside into october air and pine trees blowing. sacred. My last post is about a klansman and a young black man who developed a strong relationship through work and welding. truth, truly, is stranger than fiction as I write down the story. https://fatherofzoomers.substack.com/p/nayran-the-welder?r=jejuu&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
