‘Rain or shine, I go’: Meet the people who fish at the Berkeley Marina

Lieb's LogSep 9, 2026

Since his passing last week I've been wanting to write something about Wendell Berry. Though I have read very little of his stuff he had a major impact on my life. It was 1976. I was trying to be a farmer on some borrowed plots near Eugene Oregon. I had a tractor and was taking organic gardening to the next level by growing at a larger scale and selling to local natural food stores and distributors. At some point I joined in with some other small farmers to form a kind of self help cooperative we called Organically Grown Inc. (which eventually morphed into Organically Grown Company [1] and is today one to the largest distributors of organic produce). One of our first projects was to empty out one member's barn of horse manure, using another member's front end loader, and another member's dump truck, and spreading it on our fields. The fellow with the barn full of horse manure was named Lynn Miller [2], the horses were Belgian draft horses, and he had just started publishing the Small Farmers Journal [3]. This was still about 4 years before I started farming with Belgians myself. Intrigued by the possibility or farming with draft horses I subscribed to the Small Farmers Journal (I still have a box full of old journals from the 70's) and became an avid reader. Besides learning a lot of the technical details, I was introduced to Wendell Berry, as many of the articles contained excerpts of his writing, and I believe he may have even contributed some articles himself. The idea of living on the land and farming with draft horses became firmly ingrained in my being. To get the big picture you have to understand what my generation was going through. The late 60's was a major upheaval. The realization that our government and our schools had been lying to us our whole childhoods, the disenchantment with the rat race work to get ahead at all costs, and the need to find meaning in life, had made us all seekers. For many the search ended with psychedelic drugs, but for most it continued down many paths of spiritual teachings, gurus, and lifestyles. By the time I first read Wendell Berry I already knew that for me it meant getting back to the land. So in many ways Wendell Berrys' writings were a confirmation of what I had been felling for some time. Basically what he was saying is the you won't find the answers you seek in books, or at the feet of a guru, but rather by living on the land and immersing yourself in the natural cycles of the seasons and the world around you. Grow your own food. Simplify your life, and shun the glitter and turmoil of the modern world. No doubt my life would be better today if I had been able to remain true to these ideas. The need to be able to support my kids took me down another road, but my heart is still out there sitting under a tree in the woods.

Even More from St. Augustine on the Filioque

The following extract is taken from the blessed Augustine’s tractate on John 16:13. All emphasis will be mine. Tractate 99 John 16:13 1. What is this that the Lord said of the Holy Spirit, when promising that He would come and teach His disciples all truth, or guide them into all truth: For He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak? For this is similar to what He said of Himself, I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge. But when
