Threshold between earth and heaven
I know for a while again
the health of self-forgetfulness,
looking out at the sky through
a notch in the valleyside,
the black woods wintry on
the hills, small clouds at sunset
passing across. And I know
that this is one of the thresholds
between Earth and Heaven,
from which even I may step
forth and be free.
–Wendell Berry

Isn’t he just marvelous?
I’ve never heard of this author. Nice! 🙂
I think he wrote The Universe is a Green Dragon. It’s a good read.
Umm I will have to check that out!
I’ve read it three times.
Wow, now I really have to check it out! 🙂
