One of my favorites by Wendell Berry. Thank you, Phyllis! I had the privilege to create and teach a class on Wendell Berry at Southwest Minnesota State University. Great students, wonderful experience to share and explore Berry's writing.

I am going back in time while clearing emails and was delighted to view this today! I love this poem and the animation was wonderful. Like so many poems, it really hits home and resonates with me. Worry over things and your kids and not wanting to worry and needing to forget all that worries you and finding those moments of peace in nature.....yes, Wendell, I totally get it. *SIGH*
