but to be quiet in heart, and in eye clear.
What we need is here." ~ Wendell Berry
Looking forward to joy in some quietness . . . to see the Christ Child clearly this Christmas.

Very nice post Dotsie. I've been saying the same thing about the plants to be used for health and wellness for awhile - what we need is here. I suppose these few words can apply to most parts of our lives.
