“The living can't quit living because the world has turned terrible and people they love and need are killed. They can't because they don't. The light that shines into darkness and never goes out calls them on into life. It calls them back again into the great room. It calls them into their bodies and into the world, into whatever the world will require. It calls them into work and pleasure, goodness and beauty, and the company of other loved ones.”
~Wendell Berry

ReplyDeleteI thought it was Hannah. After Virgil is gone, right? I love "It calls them back again into the great room." Beautiful!

Comforting words after a senseless tragedy in my city yesterday. In fact, I will copy and paste them to my facebook, Please pray for Metro Police and another unnamed victim's family.
