What We Need Is Here
Geese appear high above us,
pass, and the sky closes. Abandon,
as in love or sleep holds
them to their way, clear
in the ancient faith: what we need
is here. And we pray, not
for new earth or heaven, but to be
quiet in heart, and in eye,
clear. What we need is here.
Wendell Berry

Yes, Wendell….always with wisdom and vision.
