you lose touch with your roots.
If you let restlessness move you
you lose touch with who you are

but to enable it.

When you rise
When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light in your life, for your strength.
Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living.
If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault is in yourself.

Understanding the world
When we convene again
to understand the world,

point silently out of the window
at the hillside in its season,
sunlit, under the snow,
and we will nod silently,
and silently stand and go.
Wendell Berry , Those Awake
