I have a feeling that this will speak to many people today. It certainly spoke to me. Thank you.
So strong... "laughter spilling from the cracks in our sorrow"
I'll use this poem with a student tomorrow. Thank you🌸
Thank you for continuing to educate me, expose me, to the incredible word-soul-geniuses that have made such music with the English language. Powerful poem!
great one
Clean socks and holes in our shoes capture the gist of this poem.
Just the poem I needed today. Thank you.
coffee and clean socks as small graces. yes, that part got me
I was shocked at the power of those lines… the depth…
What a mighty poet
I feel this way nearly every day of my life. It's impossible that we are all still here!!!!
Great poem, I say again.
Great poem.
I like this because
resilience is notheroic transcendence but quiet maintenance — continuing to laugh, to be kind, to notice small graces amid on going suffering.
Thank you
"Amid the small Terrors of life."
I quit wearing socks at 84.
Can't bend over.
At 28 i quit wearing a safeguarding sock. Surgery reduced big possible problems.
Today its Clean Sheets.
Very much to the point.
Thank you.
This is 🔥
Perhaps the miracle is not that we keep hoping. It is that we keep returning to life after everything that could have closed us.
