TGIF: “The” Highlight of This Week.
March 13, 2020 by 29 Comments
An email from our friend Sawsan with the subject heading that caught the eye:
“Your Little Friends.”
Followed by this lead-in:
“I was at a trinket store downtown. The owner had just opened the door to start the day and they stormed in.”
Followed by her comment:
“David, I was standing outside looking in. The store doesn’t open for another 15 minutes. I was about to walk away and the owner showed up. She insisted that I come in. We went in, she closed the door behind her. She started telling me the story of her life and the store. I looked outside, THEY WERE ALL THERE.
About 50 of them.They’ve been coming for years, she said.
And you want believe this!!!
She said that every day, 7 days a week, minutes before closing time, they all quietly fly out. Magic.
T.G.I.F.: It’s been a long week!

My #1 fear is the acceleration of days.
No such thing supposedly, but I swear I can feel it.

I stop and let myself lean
a moment against the blue
shoulder of the air.

T.G.I.F.: still for the count of one, two, three . . .

I’d made the appointment hoping to get advice on how I might help him. After giving me advice, the therapist, a kind, smart and soft-spoken man by the name of Jeff Pollard, asked simply, “And how are you feeling these days?” I felt my body go utterly still for the count of one, two, three . . .
