The Peace of Wild Things
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
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Do you want your dollar to go further this Christmas season??
Here's a GREAT idea for you!!
Why not buy the little ones in your life, this darling plush toy...and reap a double benefit in the process! When you decide to purchase this sweet little big horn sheep-thats good for a soft cuddle- you will also be helping out the actual big-horn sheep in Zion Park!! The majority of the monies-the vast majority of the monies goes right to this program, and to other programs for the Park.
Its easy to do.
Just go here and see what I mean.
You'll receive a lovable stuffed animal plus the privilege of naming your sheep and an official adoption certificate will arrive with it too!!
Its a win, win, win for everyone!!!
Happy shopping!!
