“Figs from Thistles: First Fig”

By Edna St. Vincent Millay, born #OTD, 1892.

My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light!

I’ve been reading more #poetry these days to stay intact. Viewing more art. Walking my dog an extra loop, when weather and time permit. There is still much beauty to be found, all around us.
Keep going.

Here’s a lovely poem on choices: “Tree” by Jane Hirshfield.🌲

La Ménagère is a bit pricey but wholly lovely bookshop/bistro/cafe. Also, the Galileo museum has his middle finger on display. 👀
