Sailors have an expression
about the weather:
they say, the weather is a great bluffer.
I guess the same is true
of our human society —
things can look dark, then
a break shows in the clouds,
and all is changed,
sometimes rather suddenly.
…
Hang on to your hat.
Hang on to your hope.
And wind the clock,
for tomorrow is another day.
~ E. B. White (via the marginalian)
