That I wanted good poetry without knowing it, That I discovered, late, its salutary aim,. In this and only this I find salvation. January 26th, 2013. Day 01 - your favorite song. Hmmm my favorite song of all time has to be the grumpy old mans Famous blue raincoat. I love the way he sings it, I love the sparseness of the musical accompaniment. I love the backing vocals , I love the lyrics and I love the ambiguity of the narrative. Day 02 - your least favorite song. Day 03 - a song that makes you happy.

I need something upbeat to get me moving in the morning. July’s get-up-and-go pop music has been provided by LP. Her new album Forever for Now. Is fast, fun and summery.

Albert Goldbarth, ‘The Sciences Sing a Lullabye’ – Selected Tales
https://purpleprosearchive.wordpress.com/2015/07/12/albert-goldbarth-the-sciences-sing-a-lullabye
Albert Goldbarth, ‘The Sciences Sing a Lullabye’. Go to sleep. Of course. You’re tired. Every atom in you. Has been dancing the shimmy in silver shoes. Nonstop from mitosis to now. Quit tapping your feet. They’ll dance. Inside themselves without you. Go to sleep. It will be all right. Slow inch. By inch America is giving itself. To the ocean. Go to sleep. Let darkness. Lap at your sides. Give darkness an inch. You aren’t alone. All of the continents used to be. The sun will rise tomorrow,. July 12, 2015.

The Peace of Wild Things | Wendell Berry - Optimistic by Force
http://createdestiny.livejournal.com/293130.html
The Peace of Wild Things Wendell Berry. Feb 6th, 2013 at 8:41 PM. The Peace of Wild Things. When despair for the world grows in me. And I wake in the night at the least sound. In fear of what my life and my childrens lives may be. I go and lie down where the wood drake. Rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things. Who do not tax their lives with forethought. Of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars.
