We all must begin living sabiamente, simply,
smally, slowly SHARINGLY,
. . .SUSTAINABLY !
“To live, we must daily break the body and shed the blood of creation.
When we do this knowingly, lovingly, skillfully, reverently, it is a sacrament.
When we do it ignorantly, greedily, clumsily, destructively, it is a desecration.
In such desecration we condemn ourselves to spiritual and moral loneliness, and others to want.” Wendell Berry
……………………….
The key to following Berry’s sage advice for having holistic quality community life is through
humility and a very light ecological footprint, … and by being extremely cautious and tentative in
all policy and actions, EXCEPT in sharing with others. (These sorts of guidelines for a good life
for all, i.e., for resilient/sustainable community, have been an essential part of an ethical
and moral human ethos since Homo became sapiens.)
