“During the last 17 years... I have been working at the restoration of a once exhausted hillside. Its scars are now healed over, though still visible, and this year it has provided abundant pasture, more than in any year since we have owned it. But to make it as good as it is now has taken 17 years. If I had been a millionaire or if my family had been starving, it would still have taken 17 years. It can be better than it is now, but that will take longer. For it to live fully in its own responsibility, as it did before bad use ran it down, may take hundreds of years.” IfsYearsMayHas BeensStillsUseLastsResponsibilityTakenLandMy FamilyRanVisibleScarExhaustedStarvingHealedMillionaireRestorationPastures Author:Wendell Berry
