What are the chances Of a single ray of the setting sun Slipping through the cracks In all the leaves Of the mighty forest That little patch of light, Settled on the forest floor Infinitesimal But there it is And you walk right through

Hope is with you when you believe The earth is not a dream but living flesh, That sight, touch, and hearing do not lie, That all things you have ever seen here Are like a garden looked at from a gate. —Czeslaw Milosz poems.com/poem/hope/

I am the man who runs the night, I am the necessary evil. You see me when you're not looking. I am a shadow, where there is no sun. I am the man who runs the night But it is you, who will be running.

On that day, marked in history In that three bedroom house Where rain fell to the north, but not to the south Family gathered, bellies filled, tales passed mouth to mouth On that day, when things were easy, at Nanna's house.
