Prelude to Reading a Novel
Novels are for everybody.
At the dog park by the bay; Significance; Meditation on Listening
in the beginning there was the word and ever since a distance to cross
At the Start of the End of the World; What’s Wrong with This Movie; Canticle for the Lost; The Difficulty; Halo
So we need, O Lord,
to shake our grief the way you shake stars
like a blanket tossed to the floor by a wild sleeper.
