"When despair for the world grows in me…
I rest in the grace of the world, and I am free.” ~ Wendell Berry
In The Peace of Wild Things, poet Wendell Berry shares the power that nature holds for him. When he fears what the future might hold, he goes to “where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.”
In our times of stress, let’s bring ourselves to places where we can be soothed, healed, and uplifted by the grace of the natural world.
Where is your favorite happy place?
In our power places, it can sometimes feel as if, not only are we brought into harmony, but we're carried from a low note right on up to joy at a high octave.
Whether we go in reality or in our imagination, let's often visit places that slow our breath, stir gratitude, and make us smile.
With peace, freedom, and joy,
Charlene
