The Breath of Love in Us

“As timely as a river God’s timeless life passes
Into this world. It passes/
Through bodies, giving life,
And past them, giving death.
The secret fish leaps up Into the light and is
Again darkened. The sun
Comes from the dark, it lights
The always passing river,
Shines on the great-branched tree,
And goes. Longing and dark,
We are completely filled
With breath of love, in us
Forever incomplete.”

• Wendell Berry, Given: Poems
