[QUOTE="wisernow, post: 713166, member: 20373"] Hi Folks: I came across this today and thought I would share. If others have favourites please share as well. The Peace of Wild Things” by [URL='https://onbeing.org/author/wendell-berry/'][U]Wendell Berry[/U][/URL], Special Contributor 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. [/QUOTE]
