Day 312 … October 7th (becoming Famous)
“The River is famous to the fish. The loud voice is famous to Silence, which knew it would inherit the Earth. The tear is famous, briefly, to the cheek … I want to be famous to shuffling men who smile while crossing streets, to sticky children in grocery lines; famous as the one who smiled back. I want to be famous in the way a pulley is famous, or a buttonhole; not because it did anything spectacular, but because it always re-membered what it could Do.” ~ Naomi S. Nye
