L.B. Jeffries: That’s the one, huh? But he never ends up marrying her, does he? That’s strange.”

Against the essential reality
Of creatures going about their business among the equally
Earnest elements of nature.”

“The greatest part of each day, each year, each lifetime is made up of small, seemingly insignificant moments. Those moments may be cooking dinner...relaxing on the porch with your own thoughts after the kids are in bed, playing catch with a child before dinner, speaking out against a distasteful joke, driving to the recycling center with a week’s newspapers. But they are not insignificant, especially when these moments are models for kids.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
