In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life, – no disgrace, no calamity, (leaving me my eyes,) which nature cannot repair.

In times like this, I always come back to The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry.
Peace be with you all.

How
Did the rose
Ever open its heart
And give to this world
All its
Beauty?
It felt the encouragement of light
Against its
Being.
Otherwise,
We all remain
Too
Frightened.

The return of the light. 🙏

It’s that time — to witness every little step of this family ritual that Nana used to lead. Now it’s Mom, her skin thin and lined, her hands resembling Nana’s with swollen knuckles. I wonder, when the roles will shift again?
For now, I smile at Mom wearing my apron and commit her image to memory. 💜
