The Peace of Wild Things
Wendell Berry
August 5, 1934 - August 31, 2026

[Paideia Collection @PaideiaBooks]

...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.

Wendell Berry
