"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Yes.


RAIN

Woke up this morning with
a terrific urge to lie in bed all day
and read. Fought against it for a minute.


Then looked out the window at the rain.
And gave over. Put myself entirely
in the keep of this rainy morning.


Would I live my life over again?
Make the same unforgiveable mistakes?
Yes, given half a chance. Yes.

Raymond Carver
