when e.e. cummings said “i’ll live my life if it kills me”

when andrea gibson said “i suppose i love this life, in spite of my clenched fist.” & when ellen bass said “to love life, to love it even when you have no stomach for it”

every friday night i remember that the universe is beautiful, and there is goodness within me. every friday night i remember that to struggle is to be human. every friday night i remember to brazenly, bravely be content, is to be human. every friday night i remember that i am a link in a chain, of horror and unhappiness, but also, of joy and brilliance. every friday night i remember the world will never be perfect, but it is all we have, so it is our right and duty to delight in it.
