Wendell Berry Response

I think that this poem was great in a lot of ways, but the part of it that moved me the most the call of rebellion against the dominant system. It is a new notion of rebellion for me, and a very original way to deliver it. The type of rebellion that Wendell Berry talks about is not the rebellion by the means of violence or some type of activism to restructure the dominant system; it is a call to do the unexpected, to come back to being humans. Stop being effective to produce for a system that takes advantage of you to become effective to enjoy nature and simple things.
