Sang with the UofSC Men’s Chorus this morning. We’re doing a piece this semester based on a poem by Wendell Berry, “What We Need Is Here.” This song, and poem, are growing on me.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Geese appear high over us,<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
pass, and the sky closes. Abandon,<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
as in love or sleep, holds<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n
in the ancient faith: what we need<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
is here. And we pray, not<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Have a sweet day.<\/span><\/div>\n
