A Sabbath Poem by Wendell Berry, from A Timbered Choir, The Sabbath Poems 1979-1997 (Washington, DC: Counterpoint, 1998)
No, no there is no going back. Less and less you are that possibility you were. More and more you have become those lives and deaths that have belonged to you. You have become a sort of grave containing much that was and is no more in time, beloved then, now, and always. And so you have become a sort of tree standing over a grave. Now more than ever you can be generous toward each day that comes, young, to disappear forever, and yet remain unaging in the mind. Every day you have less reason not to give yourself away.
