     And yet no leaf or grain is filled

     By work of ours, the field is tilled

     And left to grace.  That we may leap,

     Great work is done while we're asleep.

         Wendell Berry, Sabbaths

We are One

We are all Story. … We are energy moving forward to the fullest possible expressions of ourselves, …

We are one. We are, in the end, one story, one song, one spirit, one soul.

Richard Wagamese, One Story, One Song
