Rest
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief .. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. Wendell Berry
Facing The Beautiful Awful
No one feels another’s grief, no one understands another’s joy. Franz Schubert
Seen

You Are Not Here To Tell Me
