I saw you from my window, Margaret.
I was watching the seagulls swooping the sky.
The seagulls, I was telling myself, know
today is a day for trying out the wingspan…

To Margaret on a Monday by Joan Ure I saw you from my window, Margaret. I was watching the seagulls swooping the sky. The seagulls, I was telling myself, know today is a day for trying out the wingspan. And then I saw you moving uphill climbing a step at a time, alone. Some young girls and boys passed you, afraid to offer help in the face of so much courage. They could not, yet, understand it. An older man, moving slowly himself, stopped as to have the privilege of walking beside you. He knew enough already to see that he had a lot to learn from you. I looked up again for the seagulls. I did not need them anymore, though. Their gliding and joy were, I could see – without their assistance now – no greater than your own. Man flies higher than any bird and in spite of the force of gravity. I would not have known, precisely, what brought me to the front of the house if I had not happened to see you, going up the hill as if it was easy.

Be softer with you. You are a breathing thing. A memory to someone. A home to a life.

Five bunnies sit in a row facing a wall, observing a banana taped to it. The middle three bunnies wear small colored berets.

Remembering Sylvia Plath – who perished of pain on this day in 1963 after giving the world so much beauty – with Meryl Streep's stunning reading of her "Morning Song"
Meryl Streep Reads “Morning Song” by Sylvia Plath
A paean and requiem for new parenthood — the love, the strangeness, the surreal and magnetic disorientation of it.

This is Tux. He is the cutest black hole we have ever seen. And we thought you should see him too. 12/10
a solid black dachshund puppy sits on some white carpet and looks up at the camera. the pup’s fur and the photo’s contrast combine to make it impossible to see any distinguishing features of the puppy’s body; he’s just one little vantablack splotch in the middle of the frame. only his little brown eyes sparkle with a few reflections of the light around him.

On the days I am about to give up, this Gwendolyn Brooks poem gives me an anchor.
TO THE YOUNG WHO WANT TO DIE Sit down. Inhale. Exhale. The gun will wait. The lake will wait. The tall gall in the small seductive vial will wait will wait: will wait a week: will wait through April. You do not have to die this certain day. Death will abide, will pamper your postponement. I assure you death will wait. Death has a lot of time. Death can attend to you tomorrow. Or next week. Death is just down the street; is most obliging neighbor; can meet you any moment. You need not die today. Stay here - through pout or pain or peskyness. Stay here. See what the news is going to be tomorrow. Graves grow no green that you can use. Remember, green's your color. You are Spring.
