Something Beautiful

I would love to write something beautiful, but time is short, and the King of projects looms. So I scour the internet for links, in the hopes of appeasing the little empty spot here that says "create post."

The Husband unfolded his paper today and pointed to this story about Joan Didion and friends touring on behalf of their dear friend, David Halberstam, who passed away last April in a car accident.

Ms. Didion said she had not yet had a chance to read the book, but “David himself thought it was his best work,” she said, “and I trust him.”

And isn't trust in a friend just a beautiful thing.

Later this evening, I stumbled across this article on Louis Bromfield, which mentioned his collaboration with Walt Disney on Ferdinand the Bull. A story, at its essence, about pacifism. And that's something beautiful, as well.

In Detroit, Wood finds herself sneaking into hospitals to discover the sex of her child. What can be more beautiful than the restless, late-night heartbeat of someone growing inside you?

It's a wonderful day when the rest of the world writes beautiful things for you.
