The good worker will not suppose that good work can be made properly answerable in haste, urgency, or even emergency. But the good worker knows too that after it is done work requires yet more time to prove its worth. One must stay to experience and study and understand the consequences – must understand them by living with them, and then correct them, if necessary, by longer living and more work.

– Wendell Berry in The Art of the Commonplace | People, Land, and Community p.187

  1. Thanks for sharing the wisdom of Mr. Berry. I love what he has to say about good work. An important thing to be heard, I think. Enjoy your travels.
