The Peace of Wild Things...

The Peace of Wild Things By Wendell Berry

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 Berry, "The Peace of Wild Things" from The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry. Copyright © 1998

    I started Healthy Roots to hopefully inspire others to join the movement towards "back to the basics" traditional foods, natural healing and healthy living, and just moving towards a less hurried life.  We run a small homestead farm based on Weston A. Price Foundation and permaculture principles and I raise and breed AGS/ADGA Nigerian Dwarf goats. I also homeschool our two wonderful children. I am a writer, homeschool teacher, goat breeder, organic farmer, and herbalist. We love our life in Vermont, and we are so excited for you to share our journey!
