this piece from my new book "goodbye, again" is one of my absolute favorite things i've ever written.

The darkest hour
is just before the dawn,
and that, I see,

power to draw the next breath,
nor abolish the suspicion
that the brightest hour
we will ever see

to be.

You’ll never be complete, and that’s as it should be.
Inside you one vault after another opens endlessly.
Don’t be ashamed to be a human being-- be proud.

I’m reminded of what Dr. King said after four little girls were murdered in an Alabama church: “we must be concerned not merely about who murdered them, but about the system, the way of life, the philosophy which produced the murderer.”

Me: how much does it costs to borrow a thousand books a year from the library?
Small boy: $500?
Smaller girl: $1,000!
Me: It’s free!
Six hundred kids in the hall gasp, then cheer.
