A pal in Maine describes the process moving forward in America as a birthing: messy, painful, hard. When things are dire, I read for love, for possibility, for bridging, for health. I nearly put Niall Williams' book, This is Happiness, back on the shelf. I felt anything but happy. Then, at 3am after too much angst-tossing, I picked it up and found calm surprise. The writing just blew me away, re-reading sentences for their sheer beauty of construction, and delighting that Art, once again, saves:)
Gosh - congratulations Joan and all the family. I hope all continues to go well- how great are veterinarians? I also have to say- with the utmost respect- how struck I am by Joan looking like a character from ithe animated “Creature Comforts”.
i believe the natural world is continually striving to find equilibrium, a balance between high and low pressure systems, love the concept of thinking of hope as a muscle - plus how sweet is that puppy and Joan - glad it all worked out
