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

to understand the world,
the first speaker will …
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

Amid the mess
What if the path to happiness is not
bringing order into the mess of our lives
but instead relaxing amid the mess
and rejoicing in its aliveness and beauty
