– Zadie Smith
I am a neighbor,
a father,
and a hopeful man.
I will be a creator
for as long as I live.
I believe in miracles,
and my favorite color lately is green.
a father,
and a hopeful man.
I will be a creator
for as long as I live.
I believe in miracles,
and my favorite color lately is green.
Having a scarcity of time,
I want every kitchen to have an old, cheap, radio
to be used as often as possible.
But the Stoics remind me
that the best thing to ask for
is strength.
Don’t wish for things to be a certain way,
Epictetus says, but wish for them to be as they are...
Because I can handle them.
It's never too late
to sample your fate.
