We clasp the hands of those that go before us, And the hands of those who come after us. We enter the little circle of each other's arms And the larger circle of lovers, Whose hands are joined in a dance, And the larger circle of all creatures, Passing in and out of life, Who move also in a dance, To a music so subtle and vast that no ear hears it Except in fragments
Wendell Berry

Wendell Berry
Abandon,
as in love or sleep, holds
them to their way, clear
in the ancient faith: what we need
is here.
Wendell Berry
