“Be joyful though you have considered all the facts.” Wendell Berry
I ran into this quote again from one of Berry’s poems and it made me laugh, again. I mean, do I ever really have all the facts? I cobble together a story based on my perception of almost always incomplete facts, tainted as it is by my predilections, then I layer that with an icing of supposition as to the future — all of which leaves me with, well, near fiction and an appreciation for Berry’s words.
