A walk in the woods is Wendell Berry’s preferred church, so perhaps you can find solace in the pews of the oaks and redwoods.

“Woods”

by Wendell Berry

I part the out thrusting branches

and come in beneath

the blessed and the blessing trees.

Though I am silent

there is singing around me.

Though I am dark

there is vision around me.

Though I am heavy

there is flight around me.
