Words from THE LIVING PAGE:
Playfulness: an awareness of the formative power of the local
environment,
human and natural, and stability.
Wendell Berry's
idea of the importance of "knowing where ( we are ) , and the
pleasures
and pains of being there."
Timefulness: Stanley Hauerwas and
Jean Vanier, Living Gently in a Violent
World, the sense of having all
the time one needs, unhurried,
the cadence of Glory.
Nuancefulness: coined by Calvin Seerveld, the awareness that there is a
stratum of truth beyond fact. Beauty.
Words to live in.
