With thanks to Kate DiCamillo who writes wonder-inspiring FB posts (as well as perfect books). I love a poem that I can understand:) Hope you all make time to get out and find peace in Nature every chance you get!
The Peace of Wild Things
When despair 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
rests 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 forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting for their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.– Wendell Berry
Jan L. Coates - "What if...?" 
Perfect!!
One of my favourite poems since becoming aware of Wendell Berry’s writings a couple of years ago. Lovely. His words are like balm for the soul.
I don’t read a lot of poetry, but this one sure spoke to me. I’ll have to look up some of his other work.
