Wendell Berry
August 5, 1934 / Henry County, Kentucky
The Real Work
LIKE THIS POEM
It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.
