💬 In love with this poem that I have only just come across for the first time. From the late Wendell Berry:
A Warning to my Readers
Do not think me gentle
because I speak in praise
of gentleness, or elegant
because I honor the grace
that keeps this world. I am
a man crude as any,
gross of speech, intolerant,
stubborn, angry, full
of fists and furies. That I
may have spoken well
at times, is not natural.
A wonder is what it is.
Reading this, I feel so seen. Rest In Peace, Wendell.
