payne hollow

I discovered a truth that seemed to me a revelation... There seemed to be two universes which I termed the world and the earth, in either of which I could choose to live. Then I saw there was but one, and that I was living on the earth looking directly into infinity. ~ Harlan Hubbard

Anonymous asked: So you live at Payne Hollow?
no, I named the blog after a Wendell Berry piece called “Sonata at Payne Hollow.” I later found, though Don Wallis, that it is an actual place and was the home of Harlan and Anna Hubbard. Don is the author of a book on Harlan. Harlan was also an author and a painter, he and his wife Anna lived a Thoreau - like life style settling at Payne Hollow on the Ohio river, spending many years there before he died. Mr. Wallis describes the place as a “ place of spiritual beauty and deep presence.”

Thanks for your question.
