they're the best i've ever known

. . .just had to add these little nuggets from Lighthousekeeping by Jeanette Winterson, which i'm reading for a new book group that's been set up by a work colleague:

Tell me a story Pew.

What kind of story, child?
A story with a happy ending.
There's no such thing in the world.
As a happy ending?
As an ending.

::and::

. . .if you tell yourself like a story, it doesn't seem so bad.

,which just might be the best justification i've found yet for having this bizarre journal known as a blog.

sleep well friends. may you nestle safely in the arms of that from which we came.
