"boys and girls like to help"

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2012.11.10

The Boy helped me with making pancakes this morning, as he usually does. Today he added, "these will be good because i made them." I told him, "You sound like me at the office." After we were done, he added, "i like to help. boys and girls like to help."

I thought, .oO(that's not like the office)

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.

—Wendell Berry
