Hello. I know times are tough, but my family desperately needs a vehicle ASAP. My mom walks the kids to the bus every day on chronic pain. I've set up a backabuddy campaign: if you can give, I'd appreciate, if not, that's okay, sharing also does so much good. 🩵 www.backabuddy.co.za/campaign/hel...

pov you (ostensibly) set out to write a poem for hank and ended up writing a poem for yourself. many such cases.
reasons to let your own joy matter to you

because in order to talk to the cats like it’s church you must first talk to yourself like it’s church \\ because talking to yourself like it’s church means peeling back the layers and pouring in instead of out \\ because every layer holds something you should see \\ something you should hold \\ something that could hold you \\ because don’t you think it is better to be here \\ under trees or wherever else \\ here and here and here \\ don’t you think here could be easy \\ or easier amidst joy than amidst suffering \\ because you would want the same for me \\ because eventually you’re bound to take your own advice \\ because there is no trophy \\ no medal \\ no certificate \\ for most suffering endured \\ most gritted teeth \\ because you wouldn’t win it anyway \\ because nothing awaits you in the divine for resisting your own joy.

As a tribute to Dolly, why not donate a book? Leave one is a free library. Give one to a friend or neighbor or child. Buy one for a teacher’s wishlist. If you have book donation ideas, add them to this thread. Dolly would love to see people getting books!
