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

In the wee wee hours*

Form the work of Chuck Berry

In the wee, wee hours
That's when I think about life
In the wee, wee hours
That's when I think about you
You say, but yet I wonder
If your love was ever true

In a wee little room
I sit alone and think of the pain
In a wee little room
I sit alone and think of you
I wonder if you still remember
All the things we used to do

One little song
For a fading memory
One little song
For a fading memory
Of the one I really love
With nothing left for me

In the wee, wee hours
I sit alone with walls closing in
Knowing things will never be
As I once hope for
In the wee hours all alone
Thinking of another path
One more that can never be

Once again a fading of mind
A life vacant of my wee soul
In my wee little world
With a heart that has grown cold
