post-election

is it beautiful when you look up and see a whole bunch of people going someplace else?  i haven't disappeared.  haven't even left the ground.  but work makes me private and what's the point of privacy here?  nobody likes to listen to whispers they can't quite understand.  i must tell you that reading THERE BUT FOR THE by Ali Smith is the very best kind of reading.  it makes me laugh, it makes me tremble, it makes me certain if she'd been a vicar and i her congregant, i would have been an almighty believer.
