It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.

Wonderful! This reads like a stanza from the Tao Te Ching. Perhaps Wendell Berry is the reincarnation of Lao Tze? 😉
