What We Need Is Here
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.
– Wendell Berry
After a few weeks of quiet here on the blog, I find myself carrying these words into the new year. What words do you carry to remind you of that which is essential?
#SmallWonder will be back next Sunday/Monday and I hope to have some exciting news to share. Want to keep up to date on changes and receive great exclusive content? Subscribe to my newsletter via the sign-up box on the top right hand column of my blog.
The words I'm carrying these days are from Psalm 27–"one thing." One thing, Lord, have I desired, to be with you. God is showing me that dwelling with Him where He is–outside, at my desk, at His feet, in my walking around life, that if I stay close all other life will flow from that.
I look forward to your exciting news, Kelly.
