Jenny Johnson is one of my favorites (I have many favorites and she is definitely one).
Here is an email with a poem that she sent to me a couple of weeks ago. I have read this poem many times and it has brought peace to my mind when I have needed it. Hope it does the same for you.
Hi Ginger, This came today from my Interfaith Rev. friend. I thought of the Turtles and how we worry and despair for them and other wonderful creatures! Then I thought of you!! Hope all is well. XOXO Jenny
"When despair for the world grows in me ...
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."
-- Wendell Berry
from his poem "The Peace of Wild Things"
