Wisdom from Wendell Berry...

"Geese appear high over us,
pass, and the sky closes. Abandon,
as in love or sleep, holds
them to their way, clear
in the ancient faith: what we need
is here. And we pray, not
for new earth or heaven, but to be
quiet in heart, and in eye,
clear. What we need is here."

I’ve been sleepless for days pondering this problem! Thank the Lord, the NYT is on top this, rather than uselessly digging around to find out where POTUS has been the last few days….
