It’s morning. The brown scoops of coffee, the wasp-like Coffee grinder, the neighbors still asleep. The gray light as you pour gleaming water— It seems you’ve traveled years to get here. Finally you deserve a house. If not deserve It, have it; no one can get you out. Misery Had its way, poverty, no money at least. Or maybe it was confusion. But that’s over. Now you have a room. Those lighthearted books: The Anatomy of Melancholy, Kafka’s Letter to his Father, are all here. You can dance With only one leg, and see the snowflake falling With only one eye. Even the blind man Can see. That’s what they say. If you had A sad childhood, so what? When Robert Burton Said he was melancholy, he meant he was home.

If it seems too good to be true, it is. This applies to jobs and especially to loves. Complexities are human and necessary.

Your friends will let you down.

Make better friends.

No one is cool, not ever.

Possess your body.

Sustain.

Pleasure is true.

Your life is something that requires the present, not the future and certainly not the past.

It may not feel like fall (and thank God for that), but I’m beginning to turn back to my favorite parts of the season. Specifically, some really sharp ideas. Geoff Dyer always leads.
