be still in haste

Be Still in Haste
by Wendell Berry 
How quietly I
begin again  
from this moment
looking at the
clock, I start over 
so much time has
passed, and is equaled
by whatever
split-second is present  
from this
moment this moment
is the first

  1. Such sweet innocence - and a cutie too :) It's so wonderful how children of this age are always in the present moment, moment to moment. No thought of past or future, just focusing on this, whatever is at hand... Love it... Gives me encouragement for the day - to look at it differently - with the eyes of innocence...

  2. What a precious image for this Wendell Berry poem, Ruth. It's an "eternalized moment" for me.
