Fw: [Panhala] from The Gift of Gravity -- Wendell Berry

[Guest guest]

from "The Gift of Gravity"All that passes descends,and ascends again

unseeeninto the light: the rivercoming down from skyto hills, from

hills to sea,and carving as it moves,to rise invisible,gathered to

light, to returnagain. "The river's injuryis its shape." I've learned

no more.We are what we are givenand what is taken away;blessed be the

nameof the giver and taker.For everything that comesis a gift, the

meaning alwayscarried out of sightto renew our whereabouts,always a

starting place.And every gift is perfect in its beginning, for itis

"from above, and cometh downfrom the Father of lights."Gravity is

grace.~ Wendell Berry ~
