great good fortune

ah, the joys of the morning...

must leave for our jet plane at noon and there is yet so much to do. still, here i am talking to you people. i am a foolish and a foolhardy girl.

and now, a before-thanksgiving thought, from oliver wendell holmes:

“Through our great good fortune, in our youth our hearts were touched with fire. It was given to us to learn at the outset that life is a profound and passionate thing.”

now, go run through some fire. happy thanksgiving. don't burn your feathers.

Love the poem, you foolish and foolhardy girl. You guys didn't fly to Utah for Thanksgiving, did you? Maybe to Seattle?
