Given the recent appearance of geese on this board, I am forwarding a New Years invocation that I received from a gardening website to which I subscribe:
What We Need Is Here
Geese appear high over us,
pass, and the sky closes. Abandon,
as in love or sleep, holds
them to their way, clear
in the ancient faith; what we need
is here. And we pray, not
for new earth or heaven, but to be
quiet in heart, and in eye,
clear. What we need is here.
- Wendell Berry
Thanks to all of you for your friendship and being here.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
