@AriaAber Story: John Cheever's The Swimmer; poem--this:

“Neither a person entirely broken
Nor a person entirely whole can speak.

In sorrow, pretend to be fearless. In happiness, tremble.”

Jane Hirshfield, “In Praise of Coldness”

@DeRushaJ @McFranchisee After I had friends over for dinner after a move as a bachelor, and realized I had only one fork, I kept receiving random napkin holders, silverware, and drinking glasses with cartoon characters on them. They were trying to help.
