While JoAnn teaches a newcomer to knit,
my mother reads Wendell Berry's The Unsettling of America:
".
. .if we conceive of a culture as one body, which it is, we see that
all of its disciplines are everybody's business, and that the proper
university product is therefore not the whittled-down, isolated
mentality of expertise, but a mind competent in all its concerns. To
such a mind it would be clear that there are agricultural disciplines
that have nothing to do with crop production, just as there are
agricultural obligations that belong to people who are not farmers."
Raise high the roofbeams!
Angie, JoAnn, and me:
