Rowing Across The Lake

“Rowing across the lake I begin to notice the space between the stars tonight and how I think it is not as great as the distance between you and I.” -from “Rowing Across the Lake” by David Watters. (JL Field / publicdomainpictures)

"And I feel above me the day-blind stars / waiting for their light. For a time / I rest in the grace of the world, and am free." 

-Wendell Berry
