"The Peace of Wild ThingsWhen despair for the world grows in meand I wake in the night at the least soundin fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,I go and lie down where the wood drakerests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.I come into the peace of wild thingswho do not tax their lives with forethoughtof grief. I come into the presence of still water.And I feel above me the day-blind starswaiting with their light. For a timeI rest in the grace of the world, and am free."

"I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief... For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free."

Peace

Quote_1.png
Wendell Berry
"We have lived our lives by the assumption that what was good for us would be good for the world. We have been wrong. We must change our lives so that it will be possible to live by the contrary assumption, that what is good for the world will be good for us. And that requires that we make the effort to know the world and learn what is good for it."

Ethics

Wendell Berry
"Novelty is a new kind of loneliness."

Solitude

Quote_1.png
Wendell Berry
"To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival."

Hope

Quote_1.png
Wendell Berry
"Nobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground and a common bond and we cease to be alone."

Discovery

Quote_1.png
Wendell Berry
"The most exemplary nature is that of the topsoil. It is very Christ-like in its passivity and beneficence, and in the penetrating energy that issues out of its peaceableness. It increases by experience, by the passage of seasons over it, growth rising out of it and returning to it, not by ambition or aggressiveness. It is enriched by all things that die and enter into it. It keeps the past, not as history or as memory, but as richness, new possibility. Its fertility is always building up out of death into promise. Death is the bridge or the tunnel by which its past enters its future."

Environment

Quote_1.png
Wendell Berry
"This is the man who will be my grandfather-the man who will be the man who was my grandfather. The tenses slur and slide under the pressure of collapsed time."

Legacy

Quote_1.png
Wendell Berry
"The soil under the grass is dreaming of a young forest, and under the pavement the soil is dreaming of grass."

Nature

Quote_1.png
Wendell Berry
"As I age in the world it will rise and spread,and be for this place horizonand orison, the voice of its winds.I have made myself a dream to dreamof its rising, that has gentled my nights.Let me desire and wish well the lifethese trees may live when Ino longer rise in the morningsto be pleased with the green of themshining, and their shadows on the ground, and the sound of the wind in them."

Life

Wendell Berry
"There are no unsacred places, there are only sacred places and desecrated places."
