“When despair for the world
grows in me, - 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 said what I feel. Much better than I can.
What a beautiful poetry and pictures to match! I feel the same peace when I'm among the wild things.
I like the balancing kitty.
I think, if we weren't anticipating rain, I would go to the lake!
Thanks dear friends 🎈
Hello, Cloudia! I enjoyed your post and quotes too. Your birds today are all beautiful.
Thank you so much for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your day and weekend!
Such a beautiful quote...reminds us all to find that peacefulness! Lovely shots of the birds.
I see Pixie is going to have a look at the flying lunches.
Great photos of the shorebirds!
I wonder, does the cat think he can catch one!
Our cat was up in our apple tree this morning, watching the birds at the feeders. But he is much too lazy to expend the energy needed to catch one. And the birds are used to seeing him, and keep a wary eye on him.
Have a wonderful week-end!
"...day-blind stars waiting with their light."
Or an eclipse.
