Most of nature - plants and animals - have periods of rest. We find it hard.
Tout le malheur des hommes vient d'une seule chose, qui est de ne savoir pas demeurer en repos, dans une chambre. Pascal
[all of our unhappiness comes from one thing only, which is the inability to sit quietly, in a room alone]
I will wait here in the fields
to see how well the rain
brings on the grass....
I will be standing in the woods
where the old trees
move only with the wind
and then with gravity.
In the stillness of the trees
I am at home. Don't come with me.
You stay home too.
Wendell Berry 1934- American poet, environmental activist and farmer, Stay Home
