the day-blind stars
Wendell Berry

The Peace of Wild Things

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 with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

From Openings HB&W, 1968.

Morning read: @hanvanderhart.bsky.social ‘s “Dixie Land Delight” “I've looked in the glassy eyes of dead/ things. I've washed feathers and blood/ from my hands. I've laid down on/ a quilt, on an August day, watched/ the threads slip from their seams.” Whew! Awesome!

“This book made me ugly cry. At once intimate and frank, beautiful and brilliant, AN UNSTABLE CONTAINER is unafraid of big feelings and unanswerable questions ... What I mean is, AN UNSTABLE CONTAINER is a knockout and LaPine is a gift to us all.”—Marisa Crane bullcitypress.com/product/an-u...
