Something big related to my work was in the news right before thanksgiving 2015. I successfully shifted every conversation people wanted to have with me about it into a conversation about the first season of Jessica Jones, which had recently dropped. By “successfully,” I mean people eventually got annoyed and stopped talking to me. Which I took as a win.

And I got to talk about a show I loved!

I will go here in my mind:

The Peace of Wild Things

BY Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me

and I wake in the night at the least sound

in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,

I go and lie down where the wood drake

rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.

I come into the peace of wild things

who do not tax their lives with forethought

of grief. I come into the presence of still water.

And I feel above me the day-blind stars

waiting with their light. For a time

I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

That's a good reason to get a dog.
