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, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

— Wendell Erdman Berry (born August 5, 1934) is a farmer, an American novelist, poet and environmental activist.

Where Is The Love? – Black Eyed Peas

I have been impressed by Will.I.Am who is the co-founder and frontman for the hugely popular group Black Eyed Peas. You might remember him from this song  “Its a New Day” which he performed on the Oprah show.

Where is The Love? is a wonderful song when you hear it with the lyrics.
