Time Out For Awhile

Did I believe I had a clear mind?
It was like the water of a river
flowing shallow over the ice. And now
that the rising water has broken
the ice, I see what I thought
was the light is part of the dark.

Wendell Berry, Breaking

Time out? Wait does this mean you will stop writing for awhile? THat figures. As soon as I add people to my list, they take a break. *sniff*

Come back!

Maybe it is just that time of year, you know the time where events from our past come into our head and make us question ourselves and the present.  The time of the year where we start to feel "wanderlust" and get the "what ifs".

One of my favorite poets.   Do you have a favorite collection or book of his work?
