A reading of "Fear, in silence." Published by @newversenews.bsky.social on Sunday. The poem responds to the ironic contradiction in what AI tech bosses tell us... We are "right to be afraid", but should also "trust them". youtu.be/jtKQ4JIHsrc

There seems to be something rather fitting that the day after Wendell Berry dies is "The Feast of Creation in Christ" on the church calendar. It’s almost as if Providence had arranged things just so. Here is Berry’s “Sabbath Poem X” from his 2005 collection, "Given: Poems":
