Great Quote

So I took that Wendell Berry book off my shelf earlier this week and read a few pages. On the third page, I ran across this great passage: "What I'm arguing against here is not complexity or mystery but dualism. I would like to purge my own mind and language of such terms as 'spiritual,' 'physical,' metaphysical,' and 'transcendental'--all of which imply that the Creation is divided into 'levels' that can readily be peeled apart and judged by human beings. I believe that the Creation is one continuous fabric comprehending simultaneously what we mean by 'spirit' and what we mean by 'matter.'" "Health is Membership, The Art of the Commonplace, p. 147.

Quite a coincidence to run across that after putting together today's primary post (see immediately below).
