Friday Cozies – Week 39 of 2020

Friends, we've made it to another Friday. There seems to be no reprieve from heartache, injustice, and fear this year; yet I'm trying to do my job as a mother: to give my children a safe and cozy place to learn and grow and to live a life that makes the world a better place. There's a lot of work to do. But on Fridays I share some of the pictures I've taken throughout the last week and write a few words about what's been going on around The Cozy Burrow, so let's catch up a bit.

A Sunday Poem – Wendell Berry on Human Chaos

I'm still making my way through This Day: Collected & New Sabbath Poems. I've hit a section in which most of the poems make me stop and relate them to today's world.
