I believe that we create our own reality, and that everyone is doing the best that they can. Therefore, I no longer need to judge anyone or myself and can just appreciate everything.

🧵I started the evening looking into Black Dogs and have ended up reading all about the ghosts of Newgate Prison in London. It happens... rabbit holes and all. 🐰🕳️
This place, on which now stands The Old Bailey, is Deadman's Walk. Down this dark passageway you would go, from the prison to court.

A huddle on the greasy street –
cars stop, nose past, withdraw –
dull glint on soles of tackety boots,
frayed rough blue trousers, nondescript coat
stretching back, head supported
in strangers’ arms…
—Edwin Morgan, “Death in Duke Street”
in CENTENARY SELECTED POEMS (2020)

Gah! How could I forget #BookWormSat? So many quotes - so little time!
"Books are sweet, unreproaching companions to the miserable, and if they can not bring us to enjoy life, they will at least teach us to endure it."
- Oliver Goldsmith, 'The Vicar Of Wakefield'
(Painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds)
