One of my favorite poems that I love to read when I’m feeling tired and a bit overwhelmed is “The Peace of Wild Things” by Wendell Perry. No matter how many times I read this poem, the imagery within always soothes me. I love the lines:
“I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, ……I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light.”
As Perry used his words, I have used paint, to hopefully create a refuge that within you can find peace.
Happy Weekend!
