Alaska Cats for Peace

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
Or grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind star
Waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Solace in Nature

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature, and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles. ~ Anne Frank

just be ...

Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness, and just be happy. ~ Guillame Apollonaire
