Joe: “My girlfriend is learning to read with braille for her job. Right now she’s reading a horror story written in braille.”
Pete: “How does she like the story she’s reading?”
Joe: “She said she knows it’s going to have a bad ending, she can just feel it.”
I frequently visit family who live in a community abutting the Mississippi River. When I visit I enjoy going down to the river. I watch eagles dive for fish. I watch barges work their way through the locks, and I stand amazed at the wide expanse of the river. When I’m standing on the River’s edge I wonder what’s on the other side. There’s only one way to find out, I have to cross the river. Fortunately there is a bridge that spans the river. When I drive across the bridge, the other side opens up into all of the western United States. The possibilities are endless. That’s how it is in life. We can stay where we’re comfortable and feel safe or we can cross our metaphoric river and discover endless possibilities.

Sylvia Plath
Love set you going like a fat gold watch.
The midwife slapped your footsoles, and your bald cry
Took its place among the elements.
Our voices echo, magnifying your arrival. New statue.
In a drafty museum, your nakedness
Shadows our safety. We stand round blankly as walls.
I’m no more your mother
Than the cloud that distills a mirror to reflect its own slow
Effacement at the wind’s hand.
All night your moth-breath
Flickers among the flat pink roses. I wake to listen:
A far sea moves in my ear.
One cry, and I stumble from bed, cow-heavy and floral
In my Victorian nightgown.
Your mouth opens clean as a cat’s. The window square
Whitens and swallows its dull stars. And now you try
Your handful of notes;
The clear vowels rise like balloons.
Ralph Chaplin
Out on the “lookout” in the wind and sleet,
Out in the woods of fir and spruce and pine,
Down in the hot slopes of the dripping mine
We dreamed of you and Oh, the dream was sweet!
And now you bless the felon food we eat
And make each iron cell a sacred shrine;
For when your love thrills in the blood like wine,
The very stones grow holy to our feet.
We shall be faithful though we march with Death
And singing storm the barricades of Wrong,
For life is such a little thing to give.
We shall fight on as long as we have breath–
Love in our hearts and on our lips a song–
Without you it were better not to live!
