HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Re: HAPPY HOLIDAYS
A BLESSED 2024 FOR ALL
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 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 for their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
Be calm - Be clear - See the faults - See the suffering - Give your love

Happy New Year, everyone!
I wish everyone abundant health and the inner courage to send waves of Light and Love into the World so that the idea of peace and higher purpose may settle in the souls of the leaders of the nations.
