Berry’s poem “The peace of wild things”has offered me comfort time and again when I’ve been at my lowest. Life is like that, isn’t it, dying to grow again - just know that while you feel like this, that little seed is alive in you. As Manley Hopkins says ~ there lives the dearest freshness deep down things 🌱

Thanks Ange, especially for the reminder of "God's Grandeur," such a beautiful poem.

Gosh, the turn in the second half of the poem. So good. Thank you for introducing me to this one.
