We’re in the season of Easter, a 50 day season to let the implications of the resurrection sink deep into our living, a time to “practice resurrection.” That lovely phrase was coined by Wendell Berry, a Kentucky farmer, brilliant essayist and poet. It comes from his poem Manifesto: the Mad Farmer Liberation Front and you can read the full text here. But here’s a little taste:
“So, friends, every day do something that won’t compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing … Love someone who does not deserve it …. Practice Resurrection.”
