Moving at a slow pace and never owning a car again…These topics are dear to my heart. I do not drive (though my husband does). I am currently editing a post about my slow(er) walking life and it is hard to know what to say. For the most part, modern life feels designed to treat anyone who does not drive as a relic of a bygone age at best and sub-human at worst.

Well you have such a unique perspective! Most of us can only wax eloquent about desiring the slow/Wendell Berry life, but you are actually living it. I can't wait to read your piece!

I definitely caught onto Jayber's entrance into a sort of monasticism, one that seems very Franciscan (especially when he mentions talking to animals). It seems he's being taught a vocation of love.

Oh good catch with the talking to animals! I didn't even think of that!
