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

Being Fades To Black
Chains bind the soul that wish only to be free
Load on the back bends thought more than body
Binding darkness of building desperation
Isolation life’s only earned reward
As being simply fades to black
So many plans so many dreams of success
But the bastards and succeed to faith suppress
Belief in fate deludes reality's grasp
Of fate, turns out as what is, not wished
As being slowly fades to black
Looking once more into the refection in the night
Seeing all the paths that lead through the past
Seeing the truth that they do not now matter
All lead to the same destination in the end
As being inexorably fades to black
Dreaming of that place of peace
Pretending that it could someday be
Coveting the life that only others have
With a feeble reach of the hand
Only to have the return withheld
Clutching only at empty air
As being steadily fades to black.
