“But there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning “Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” ― Rumi, 13th-century Persian poet "I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates when he said...I drank what?" ― Val Kilmer, Real Genius "I will always return For now, my love, Stand in the sun Do not burn But learn to love the light you deserve." ― Anonymous "When the well is dry, we know the worth of water." ― Benjamin Franklin "A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because its trust is not on the branch, but on its own wings." ―Anonymous |
The Peace of Wild Things
by Wendell Berry When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of my life and what 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. |
