Someone on the radio
tells me
"every day is a good day."
That's a good one,
not always true
but good.
We all have bad days.
For instance when
someone we know dies.
Or pretty much when
anyone dies.
We know
every little death
counts.
Every death.
Hard to get our heads
around the prevalence of death.
It goes hand in hand with
life.
Hard to get used to.
But after a few decades
there is a bit of
a certain feeling of acceptance.
It dawns...
We all die.
It's not failure.
It's natural.
So there's another
weird thing
we live with.
We live with lots of
weird things.
It's the nature of life,
the nature of nature.
Every day is a good day.
Even the bad ones.
