are free. In the trust
of old love, cultivation shows
a dark graceful wilderness
at its heart. Wild
in that wilderness, we roam
the distances of our faith,
safe beyond the bounds
of what we know. O love,
open. Show me
my country. Take me home.
--Wendell Berry (1934- ), American farmer, essayist, poet, agrarian, author, environmental activist
