Excerpt:
"We are not walking a prepared path." - Wendell Berry at The Quivira Coalition's 6th Annual Conference, in response to a question about the difficulties that lie ahead.

"During the spike in gasoline prices in the summer of 2006, our Congressional Representative, Tom Udall, warned a newspaper reporter that one day we would be "wistful about $3-agallon-gas."

"Filling up my gas tank the other day in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and paying $3.49 a gallon for the privilege, I thought "Hey, I'm already wistful about $3 gas!" I just didn't think I would be so wistful so fast."
