So many times life requires a response from us. Sometimes we can only react while at other times we have time or space to chose our response.

Response
More Geese
…”Geese appear high over us,
pass, and the sky closes. Abandon,
as in love or sleep, holds
them to their way, clear,
in the ancient faith: what we need
is here. And we pray, not
for new earth or heaven, but to be
quiet in heart, and in eye
clear. What we need is here.” Wendell Berry
