Sock Gnome

Do you remember my Sock Gnome?

Well, it looks like he's still here.

I found him in my laundry basket today.

He's a bit larger and older looking than I remember him.

But he's still a silly-billy sock gnome.

I'm glad to have him in my laundry basket!

Do you have a sock gnome in your laundry basket?

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
