the title is a brilliant phrase uttered on the intertubes by AdamSelene @ theoildrum.com. this space accumulates other such short, poetic, and found-elsewhere insights into the limits of human cognition. it is a project dedicated to Wes Jackson’s vision of an “ignorance-based worldview.” a brilliant phrase uttered by his friend Wendell Barry in a letter.

elements of my new life

the sun sets after a shared meal with the lovely neighbors

eating together, walking through fields splashed by wildflowers, running, reading, writing, building a cabin, sharing things, sharing ideas, sharing calm and edifying conversations, being open, being honest, being oneself, asking questions, listening to bluegrass (some of which live), thinking, watching plants grow, eating things grown by God and people (Murray/God’s collard greends sauteed with Tony/God’s wild garlic and corporate-industrial balsamic vinegar are delicious), thinking about and planning the New Paradigm for Everything: i love this life very much.
