Blogging to the world, my own free reign of drivel

Blogging is such a cool idea..I mean, seriously where else can you dump your brain and then let total strangers peruse your thoughts like a garage sale? I don't figure to have too much to really hide so maybe its cathartic. As long as spell check holds out, how bad can it be?
OK..so on my recovery from being "down the rabbit hole" of my life for the last few months I found a cool quote..this is where I am aiming my brain for the day...more later if that changes!

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 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

This was written by a poet named Wendell Berry. I found it in the back of my readers digest this month and loved it. 
For now, it's my  new Mantra.
