Not Always Dark and Dreary Out Here

‘I sense the world might be more dreamlike, metaphorical, and poetic than we currently believe — but just as irrational as sympathetic magic when looked at in a typically scientific way. I wouldn’t be surprised if poetry — poetry in the broadest sense, in the sense of a world filled with metaphor, rhyme, and recurring patterns, shapes, and designs — is how the world works. The world isn’t logical, it’s a song.’
— David Bryne

“You’ll have bad times, but it’ll always wake you up to the good stuff you weren’t paying attention to.” — Robin Williams

With the wild wailing,
all around
the dogs started barking,
a naughty child barked back
and the people in hiding
broke into loud laughter —
It can’t always be dark and dreary here
