A batch of the best highlights from what Carla's read, .
An entire psychology has been devised involving the only child, a variant of the first-born. The only child is not inevitably the first-born, however. The only child may be the survivor. The only child is more likely to be gifted than a child with numerous siblings. Obviously, the only child is likely to be lonely.
Mudwoman
Joyce Carol Oates
For she is nourished by darkness. For she is in the dark room putting bones into place. For she is clustering the gold and the silver, the minerals and chemicals.
The Complete Poems
Anne Sexton
My favorite Compline prayer, which fit so well with my circumstance, especially as the night shift came on in the nursing home, was: Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love’s sake. Amen.
