Sweet Kitza! I am glad you are both in your happy place! Indeed, animals make a huge difference. I may read the news, but making sure my sheep, chickens and cats are taken care of helps the balancing act of staying centered. Meanwhile, I’ll pretend I’m walking on the beach with you. (Questioning my decisions…. !)
Wendell Berry has an astonishing way with words. Thank you for sharing this! I so agree with your thoughts about the news. I read the news every day because I must know what is going on, but these days I feel like a huge dark cloud is hanging over me, over all human beings and animals. As a whole humans are a selfish, destructive, mindless species. I'm sorry for the raw truth telling.
I know evil is disembodied. But it seems to have entered the Trump corpus anyway, just as in a horror film. If Trump weren’t there, MAGA would fall apart.
Can evil reside in wildlife? Are Trump and his whisperers wildlife? Or something else? Can some of that wildlifeness rub off on us?
hmmm ... will have to mull that one.
Thank you Clyde - so helpful and lovely. We also are holding on to our wild and wonderful world up here in Vermont. I too love the poem. Thank you
I always enjoy your photos of the wild and wonderful.
Nice piece Clyde. Love the poem.

What a beautiful and apt poem to go with your thoughtful words and images, Clyde. I'd never read that before, but absolutely spot on.
Thank you, Wendy -- Yes, I completely love that poem. Don't you just feel calmed & reassured by it??
My own response to worry is to go outside and drink in nature, even if just for a few moments, so it absolutely resonates.
Hah! At first I read that as "go outside and drink, in nature."
That’s another option!
