The Peace of Wild Things
When despair 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
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 with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
~by Wendell Berry
I came across this poem the other day and it resonated with me deeply in these troubled times. I’m hoping to share more poetry – committing at least once a month to seek out a poem that has personal meaning and also embellishes my photography.
May your Thanksgiving holiday be filled with the presence of love, family, friends and peace.

For pastoral poetry that ranks up there with Robert Frost. It is soothing and all the more so for its brevity. Stewart
