I’ve just encountered the word “gracehoper” in Gerald Stern’s poem “Torn Coat” and I don’t know if it’s a phonetic “grasshopper” or a created word for profound optimism.
They both fit.
Which is why I love poetry.

And now will characterize myself as a grace-hoper.

I'm proud to live in a country where a Hindu PM can worship outside Downing Street and a Muslim Mayor can worship in Trafalgar Square.

@NJ_Timothy and Tommy Robinson - why do you hate it so much?

@SketchesbyBoze The longer Christmas season also frees up that month of mall music for a more contemplative ‘waiting & hoping’ period of Advent

Btw, the week between Christmas and New Year’s is Book Bacchanalia week. Read. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.

Libraries may not be open, so plan your haul now.

Resting is a form of resistance.

Please give yourself permission to rest.

You don’t need to earn it.

You deserve to rest.
