The Real Work


Jan Schmuckal



The Real Work


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



So not knowing what to do or where to go may be a good thing. “Not knowing” – is that the point Berry is trying to make? Thinking we know, when we don’t?
