AND he's from Oregon. {} (Which proves my point: David Hasselhoff needs to move to Oregon.) ;>
Imagine...
Charlie Clevenger, Shawnee Forest Road
Every writer's no good, least happy, over-anxious, worst part of the day
But then...
there's this.
Miss you, Mr. Carver.
HAPPINESS
by Raymond Carver
So early it's still almost dark out.
I'm near the window with coffee,
and the usual early morning stuff
that passes for thought.
When I see the boy and his friend
walking up the road
to deliver the newspaper.
They wear caps and sweaters,
and one boy has a bag over his shoulder.
They are so happy
they aren't saying anything, these boys.
I think if they could, they would take
each other's arm.
It's early in the morning,
and they are doing this thing together.
They come on, slowly.
The sky is taking on light,
though the moon still hangs pale over the water.
Such beauty that for a minute
death and ambition, even love,
doesn't enter into this.
Happiness. It comes on
unexpectedly. And goes beyond, really,
any early morning talk about it.
Raymond Carver (1933-1988)
-Pamela, Come Saturday morning happiness to all of you, with dreams of uncovering visions of joy every day of my life
