A Timbered Choir

A collection of Sabbath poems by Wendell Berry, worthy of reading first thing in the quiet of the morning, they still the soul to listen. 


I go among trees and sit still.
All my stirring becomes quiet
around me like circles on water.
My tasks lie in their places
where I left them, asleep like cattle.


~Stanza I of the First Poem. 


Feeding young Elliana oatmeal. Not because she couldn't do it herself; some sort of communion was going on there.
