The Real Work Poem by Wendell Berry

Liked the last two lines. Well expressed!

Wendell, such a brilliant write.. congrats for being chosen... a huge 10+++

First, it looks like to was left out in the second line, so it should read come to our real work. In response to what Berry says (and he is someone I respect) , I think, yes, we need to be challenged. But what of inspiration that is graced on us? But often for us it follows the times of bafflement, of challenge. I especially like the closing line. GK

IT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SHORT

How can you so shamefully use a robotic audio to recite a Wendell Berry poem AND allow for audio ads to interview. Terrible!

I love this poem. It challenges, and comforts. Thank you.

A neat poem that wrote itself.

Brevity makes the point sharper- -and sometimes truth is blunt. Berry makes the blunt truth piercing sharp. Excellent piece of writing here.

The mind that is not baffled is not employed! Thanks for sharing.
