one more day



  



.

 
 
It is almost Spring again.

At the wood's edge the redbird
sings his happiest note: sweet,
sweet, sweet, sweet. 

And you who have left this 
world forever have been gone 
one more day.


—Wendell Berry

  1. Today is the third anniversary of my mother's death... Cardinals were her favorite bird... The Robin with its red breast is the first bird of Spring... Magically somehow she left me a Robin's feather in our garage where no bird had been. I took it as a sign that something of us must certainly go on...
