To The New Year 2012

From the Foster-Fluharty Farm; Matthew Fluharty
from Sabbaths, 2005
VI.

I tremble with gratitude
for my children and grandchildren
who take pleasure in one another.

At our dinners together, the dead
enter and pass among us
in living love and in memory.

And so the young are taught.

          - Wendell Berry
