I recently purchased ”Leavings: Poems’ by the author/poet/activist Wendell Berry. The first poem in the book is a little one entitled, “Like Snow” which I find incredibly fitting considering the April snow that has decided to fall this evening and the busy week that is currently staring me down and threatens to beat me till I am a quivering mass of Micron, Copic and Gold pens.
Nevertheless, the words of Mr. Berry–
Like the Snow
Suppose we did our work
Like the snow, quietly, quitely,
Leaving nothing out.
