Wild peace . . .

It’s Satyr’s day and my search for a used car to replace my Prius continues . . .

A wonderful result of letting go is to experience each moment as being enough, just as it is. It allows us to be present for our experience here and now with such clarity and freedom that this very moment stands out as something profound and significant. – Gil Fronsdal from Letting Go

We can't seem to “let go” of the “man the hunter myth” – Faye Flam in Noema.

Living with fears without trying to avoid them may be one part of fearing well, and one for which a culture of fear-as-failure has not prepared us. – Ami Harbin

The Peace of Wild Things

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake ,,, in fear
… 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

and I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world . . .

– by Wendell Berry, The Peace of Wild Things, Penguin, 1968.
