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.

For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. - Wendell Berry Quotes
