For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Wendell Berry
Grace, World, Still Waters
Wendell Berry (2012). “New Collected Poems”, p.79, Counterpoint Press

Where is our comfort but in the free, uninvolved, finally mysterious beauty and grace of this world that we did not make, that has no price? Where is our sanity but there? Where is our pleasure but in working and resting kindly in the presence of this world? (pg. 215, Economy and Pleasure)

Wendell Berry
Grace, Comfort, World
