WORD AND FLESH (#OHIORIVER, II)

 

 

 

"WE SELL THE WORLD TO BUY FIRE

OUR WAY LIGHTED BY BURNING MEN" 



All goes back to the earth,
and so I do not desire
pride of excess or power,
but the contentments made
by men who have had little:
the fisherman’s silence
receiving the river’s grace,
the gardener’s musing on rows.

I lack the peace of simple things.
I am never wholly in place.
I find no peace or grace.
We sell the world to buy fire,
our way lighted by burning men,
and that has bent my mind
and made me think of darkness
and wish for the dumb life of roots.

(THE WANT OF PEACE, WENDELL BERRY) 

Once you learn #BlackRock, #Vanguard, and #JPMorgan are the biggest stockholders of #NorfolkSouthern, the train operator that crashed in Ohio, then you realize why there has been a major media blackout on the toxic chemical disaster Can’t risk losing that ad revenue!
