Monday Morning Wake-Up Call

And how could you ever
get what you want
when you would need to believe
            in something other than
the past—friends, mornings, walks,
            the spider-branchwork
            of cold trees—

Joanna Klink, from “On Surmising” in “The Nightfields” (Penguin Books, July 7, 2020)

  1. I believe – in lots of things, but also in the good of ppl, in joy and happiness. And when you believe in it, it’s more likely gonna happen. We create our own happiness mostly ourselves.
    Wishing you and yours, as well as all your faithful, funny, wonderful readers a truly happy and peaceful Christmas. Let’s work towards a great New Year too, together, sharing good and less fortunate times, building up love and friendship, enjoying a joke or three….
