wendell for wednesday

It’s supposed to be springtime in Indiana, and it makes me want to read outside in the crisp spring breeze. I’m re-reading one of my favorites, Jayber Crow, and I love this (I won’t even apologize, even though I’m sure I’ve shared it here before):

“‘You have been given questions to which you cannot be given answers. You will have to live them out – perhaps a little at a time.’
And how long is that going to take?’
I don’t know. As long as you live, perhaps.’
That could be a long time.’
I will tell you a further mystery,’ he said. ‘It may take longer.”

Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow
