“Life is wide.”
A lesson for mornings…
“Life is wide. There’s room to take a new run at it.”
Ivan Doig (1939-2015)
American novelist
Our country is suffering in these parlous times. Optimism isn’t the first thing I think of when I wake each morning.
Nevertheless, this epigram from Ivan Doig is a lesson.
I’m going to keep working hard at taking a new run at life.
The track is wide, indeed.
There’s room to do some good things.
By the way, it’s a good bet you’ll like everything by Ivan Doig. My favorite is This House of Sky, his memoir of growing up in Montana. The Bartender’s Tale is really good, too.
