#TodaysPoem Instructions for Having a Soul by Joseph Fasano
Instructions for Having a Soul Take it out in the rain sometimes. It has vast, invisible wings that gather dirt and need rinsing. When it tries to kill you that is because you've forgotten to let it look into someone's eyes for longer than a minute. It needs that the way a bee needs nectar in the early morning dew. Every so often, take it on a journey. Let it read long, hard books and let it stare into the depths of the sea. Yes, you can give it chips and whiskey but from time to time let it kneel in a place that is holy like the simple cathedral of the willows. All it wants is to live, to keep becoming. Nourish it, and it puts down roots, it opens. But starve it, and the mind, the flesh is empty; the world breaks down; symphonies go unwritten; the rockets fall; the children die in flames. Listen. It is not too late to wake it. Say the names of the wild, the forgotten things: bluebird, red wolf, robin; violet, child, clover. You cannot save the world but you can open the window for the trapped wren in the cellar. Read a book to a blind man, to your father. Tell a child you do believe her anger. Make your life the first life that you save. Joseph Fasano

Me at a book fair.
Aziraphale & Crowley walking & talking on the sidewalk. Azi: panel 1 ...and since I had already bought too many books that week I wasn't going to buy another one, Azi: panel 2 but then I went on a walk and found this second-hand book fair, so i thought, alright, one more.. Azi: panel 3 «and I couldn't decide between those two books... Crowley: panel 4 So how many books did you actually bring home from the book fair? Azi: Twenty-one.

Tip for iphone users. under accessibility you have a number of voices that can read your screen. the defaultbid pretty low quslity but for not too many MG & for free choose another, with accents from any number of countries, American, Irish, India, Scotland, Emglish…
go into settings under accessibility go into voices go into English and a list of samples. download who appeals

They are recovering well. New leaves, new blooms. The root didn’t get too cold. Thanks for the advice.
