RIP Ky poet Wendell Berry:
The Peace of Wild Things
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water,
The Peace of Wild Things
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water,

“The prophetic tasks of the church are to
tell the truth
in a society that lives in illusion,
grieve
in a society that practices denial,
and express hope
in a society that lives in despair”

Walter Brueggemann (1933-2025) was a towering figure in biblical scholarship, a gifted preacher, a kind and generous soul, a gregarious character with an easy laugh…and a friend. He will be missed immensely.
Thank you for everything, Walter. Rest in peace.

It's the birthday of American naturalist John Burroughs (1837-1921). He wrote about the nature he found in his beloved Catskill mountains of New York; birds, hills, squirrels (even cows), the ordinary nature most of us encounter every day. We're drawn to spectacular vistas, but live in the ordinary.

It's the birthday of Ansel Adams (1902-1984). In a letter on 10/7/60, he wrote: "We either have wild places or we don't.
