The Wisdom of Wendell Berry

In the dark of the moon

In the dead of winter,

In flying snow,

The world in danger,

Families dying, 

War spreading.

I walk the rocky hillsides

throwing clover.

Everyday Is a Good Day

If there are mountains, I look at the mountains;

On rainy days I listen to the rain. 

Spring, summer, autumn, winter. 

Tomorrow too will be good.

Tonight too will be good.

Have a Blest Christmas

We must not seek the Child Jesus in the pretty figures of our Christmas cribs. We must seek him among the undernourished children who have gone to bed tonight with nothing to eat, among the poor newsboys who will sleep covered with newspapers in doorways.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.
