the heart is a lonely hunter

Sat Apr 3
The pasture, bleached and cold two weeks ago, begins to grow in the spring light and rain;
the new grass trembles under the wind’s flow. The flock, barn-weary, comes to it again, new to the lambs, a place their mothers know, welcoming, bright, and savory in its green, so fully does the time recover it. Nibbles of pleasure go all over it.
Wendell Berry
