Dominican Preaching through Word and Image
In the dark of the moon, in flying snow, in the dead of winter,
war spreading, families dying, the world in danger,
I walk the rocky hillside, throwing clover.
– Wendell Barry “February 2, 1968” from The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry
*The beauty found in nature, in flowers,* *does bring lightness into days that* *are darkened by wars and suffering.*
