Home Again

Returning Home Again

And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles,
no matter how long,
but only by a spiritual journey,
a journey of one inch,
very arduous and humbling and joyful,
by which we arrive at the ground at our feet,
and learn to be at home.

—Wendell Berry

Hello, Mary Ann! I adore your fairy garden. And the Wendell Barry poem is SO apt. And sometimes the journey is two steps forward and three steps back! :) Blessings to you!

  So nice to share my blog with you, Else! I love making fairy gardens with my granddaughters. Wendell Berry’s writing is so profound but points to such simple truths.
