Quote of the moment

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

-Wendell Berry: The Peace or the Wild Things

Desire

Desire overwhelming
Robbing of control
A burst entirely of love
Like a deep primordial growl

A mere touch releases
Any restraint or reserve
An embrace causes an explosion
Emotions not before observed

Kisses that transpose restraint
Into a passion all consuming
Gentle, caring caresses
Become animalistic fusing.
