"if one's sight is clear and if one stays on and works well,
one's love gradually responds to the place as it really is, and one's visions
gradually image possibilities that are really in it."
Wendell Berry, "People,
land, and community," In The art of the commonplace: the agrarian essays of Wendell Berry
(Washington, DC: Counterpoint, 2002),
187, as quoted in Norman Wirzba, "Attention and responsibility: the work of prayer," in The phenomenology of
prayer, ed. Bruce Ellis Benson and Norman Wirzba (New York: Fordham University Press, 2005), 98 (88-100).
