Grandma Interview
Here's the transcript of my interview with Grandma Dorothy. It was originally for a class, but now I'm tempted to do more, so if anyone has specific questions they want me to ask, let me know.

Wendell Berry prose
Happy Easter and Passover to all:
By Wendell Berry
When I dispair for the world grows in
me and I wake in the night at the
least sound in fear of what my life
and my children 's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood
drake rest in his beauty on the water,
and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with fore-
thought of grief. I come into the
presence of still water. And I feel
above me the day-blind stars wait-
ing with their light. For a time I rest
in the grace of the world, and am
free.
