-r than fiction
Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine, and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy, we can thank God for Bavarian sugar cookies.
And fortunately, when there aren’t any cookies, we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin, or a kind a loving gesture, or subtle encouragement, or a loving embrace, or an offer of comfort.
Not to mention:
hospital gurneys,
and nose plugs,
and uneaten Danish,
soft-spoken secrets,
and Fender Stratocasters,
and maybe, and the occasional piece of fiction.
And we must remember, that all these things – the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties, which we assume only accessorize our days are in fact here for a much larger and nobler cause. They are here to save our lives.
I know the idea seems strange, but I also know that it just so happens to be true.
