Wendell Berry is one of those authors whose words I live by. As an educator and artist, with my particular concern for the planet, his thoughts always encourage me.


“Ultimately, what we have to be talking about is not what we are against but what we are for,

and that is life not lived against the possibility of life.” 

 

Quoted in Goleman, Daniel. Ecoliterate: How Educators Are Cultivating Emotional, Social, and Ecological Intelligence
