“Action is hope,” says the Ray Bradbury quote in the back of my desk. “At the end of the day, when you’ve done your work, you lie there and think, Well, I’ll be damned, I did this today. It doesn’t matter how good it is, or how bad — you did it.”
I had to clear a space on my desk to set down my journal and copy the quote. And in doing so, I found an action I will do today.
I resolved: I like this desk. I like sitting at it and using it. Before I do anything else, I will clear the junk away to expose the surface so I can use the desk again.
And I proceeded to clear the desk. And what do you know, that gave me hope.
