One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

I also appreciate Emily Wilson as a woman in a male dominated role, by which I don’t mean translator or classicist or public scholar but rather “curmudgeon.”

That was an elegantly handled In Memoriam, probably the best ever. One of the only times in Oscar history that it actually felt like the show was asking people to stop, think, remember, smile, and mourn.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Poem:

I know, you never intended to be in this world. But you're in it all the same.

So why not get started immediately.

I mean, belonging to it. There is so much to admire, to weep over. And go write music or poems about.

Bless the feet that take you to and fro. Bless the eyes and the listening ears. Bless the tongue, the marvel of taste. Bless touching.

So someone on BlueSky called me the c-word for posting about a football game. Others are critical of posting about something as trivial as football when so many awful things are happening. So we shouldn’t post photos of pets, flowers or sunsets either? C’mon. We can resist AND live our lives.
