"I have one of two choices – stay in the post office and go crazy ... or stay out here and play at writer and starve. I have decided to starve."
Charles Bukowski 1920-1994
On Christmas ...
I claim to be festive phobic. However, I know that I escape it to avoid the loss. Part of me found something to love in the awfulness of it all, a series of now-missing someones. Bear this in mind should you find yourself lamenting “having” to spend Christmas with your family: one minute you have to, the next you can’t.
from Hannah Betts, We Should Cherish Christmas, The Times, 21 December 2016
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly
Langston Hughes, Poet
