Something awful may
happen tomorrow. Some terrible thing may be waiting for mourning. Think on this: The car you leave in never arrives. The voices you hear are whispering lies. The hankie you touch to your lips fills with blood. Think of the skull on the mantle. Ponder Boethius et al. Turn Terror away. Make today quiet, humorous and good. |
