I Went to the Woods

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

– Henry David Thoreau

This week has been a rough one.  I head into the weekend thankful for friends, for family, for community, for faith, and the beauty of God’s world all around me, including the goodness of people that continues to shine through the dark.
