to make a cell of good living

And if I might attempt to state in one paragraph the work which I have chiefly tried to do in my own life, it is this: to make a cell of good living in the chaos of our world.... But what I hope above all things is that I have done something towards re-integrating bed and board, the small farm and the workshop, the home and the school, earth and heaven.

  1. Reminds me of Wendell Berry, whom I have heard mentioned alongside of Gill, although I know nothing of Gill but his name. Thanks for this.
