A batch of the best highlights from what Carla's read, .
A long time ago in old Ireland, the mythical warrior and hero Finn McCool asked his followers what the most beautiful music is. They answered with all kinds of sounds, from birds chirping and hounds baying to swords clashing and a pretty girl’s laughter. Finn McCool waited until they had named all the finest music they could think of. Then he said that the most beautiful music in the world is “the music of what happens.”
Take Good Care of the Garden and the Dogs
Heather Lende
I want to get well but I can’t it seems to me, and if I should what’s going to take away the thing in my head that sees so clearly into the past and into dozens of things that I can never forget.
Everything was lost, I had fallen off the map: the disorientation of being in the wrong apartment, with the wrong family, was wearing me down, so I felt groggy and punch-drunk, weepy almost, like an interrogated prisoner prevented from sleeping for days. Over and over, I kept thinking I’ve got to go home and then, for the millionth time, I can’t.
