Take it twenty-four hours at a time
Meet your ego with hostility and contempt
Your genius admired far and wide
These laurels appear to rest and tempt
Knowing all the things you don’t know
There’s a lifetime left to fill the gaps
You must learn to find the way
By first learning to read the maps
On solitude: That’s just the kind of ‘suffering’ I’m most at home with.
Elizabeth Bishop
Gratitude Journal
I am so happy and grateful to find my laptop power adaptor at Le Paradis today. I left it there by accident on Thursday. I’m grateful to the staff who kept it safe for me.
