Ye Gods! Egret!

"The heron blames the water
 because he cannot swim."
                                      Danish Proverb














“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 or 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.”
                          Wendell Berry
