In a world filled with noise, division, and endless demands on our attention, Wendell Berry’s poem Peace of wild things offers a rare invitation: to step back and find comfort in nature.
“The Peace of Wild Things,” read slowly enough, can remind us of the deep, quiet refuge that exists in the natural world, beyond the reach of our daily stresses and anxieties. When human life seems overwhelming, he suggests that peace cannot be found in more thought or action, but in a return to the simplicity and calm of the natural world around us.
Berry does not write simply about disconnection, but rather about remembering the peace of wild places – the wildness of creation itself – in response to a modern world that is overwhelmingly indifferent or at least oblivious not only to the nature but also its healing. importance.
In this way, Berry explores by leaving worry behind and immersing himself in “the peace of wild things,” where birds rest on the water and stars wait in the sky. It is a reminder that nature, in its steadfastness, offers a healing calm free from human effort, division or pressure.
If you are looking to reconnect with something sweet and concrete, The peace of wild things invites you to leave your mind and back into the heart of the world, where peace patiently awaits us.
