I have no plans to stop, but I give her credit, so hopefully she sees it as the tribute it is.
By the way, have you been reading Zoe lately? She's a gem of the blogging world. And of the world in general, really.
So I stole this poem from her blog.
Things to Think
BY ROBERT BLY
Think in ways you've never thought before.
If the phone rings, think of it as carrying a message
Larger than anything you've ever heard,
Vaster than a hundred lines of Yeats.
Think that someone may bring a bear to your door,
Maybe wounded and deranged; or think that a moose
Has risen out of the lake, and he's carrying on his antlers
A child of your own whom you've never seen.
When someone knocks on the door, think that he's about
To give you something large: tell you you're forgiven,
Or that it's not necessary to work all the time, or that it's
Been decided that if you lie down no one will die.
