Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
2/22: gratitude
I found out last night that a dear, grand lady had passed away--she had been a kind of fairy-godmother to us children in the neighborhood as we were growing up, and I am so grateful that I got to experience some of her specific magic. I am also grateful to my childhood neighborhood friends--one of them wasn't sure I would have heard the sad news so contacted me yesterday to let me know, and another one of them wrote a perfect tribute paragraph on Facebook today, saying so well what more of us were thinking.
