High Tides, Sunrises, Silliness

Leif eating cake (lucky lad!) while wearing the hat from a halloween costume from when Jason was very young. Photo by Jason.

The water coming into the yard and trying to steal the burn pile.

Sunrise as seen from our living room/bedroom. (Yeah, it's through glass).

More of the same, with sun this time.

The Peace of Wild Things

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
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
