From “How to be a poet” by Wendell Berry

…There are no unsacred places;   

there are only sacred places   

and desecrated places.   

Accept what comes from silence.   

Make the best you can of it.   

Of the little words that come   

out of the silence, like prayers   

prayed back to the one who prays,   

make a poem that does not disturb   

the silence from which it came.
