The Morning Reading: "eating peaches off some mighty fine trees."



A Meeting
- Wendell Berry

In a dream I meet
my dead friend. He has,
I know,  gone long and far,
and yet he is the same
for the dead are changeless.
They grow no older.
It is I who have changed,
grown strange to what I was.
Yet I, the changed one,
ask: "How you been?"
He grins and looks at me.
"I been eating peaches
off some mighty fine trees."

*

(Vincent Van Gogh - Orchard with Peach Trees)
