I was struck by this quote by Wendell Berry when I attended an evening service at church recently.

When despair of 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.

who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief ~ what a powerful line!!
I realized that that is where so many of us lay in life - ruining tomorrows before today has yet to turn bright.

STOP THAT! RIGHT NOW PEOPLE!

TAKE A WALK OUTSIDE - SEE the WORLD as it REALLY IS - not the one inside our heads!
