Reading Olga Ravn's "The Employees" which is swooping in late as a favorite novel contender. Also, one of the most absurd things for someone new to HR to read, but so is my life 🤷

"The world says, One type of dream has ended
and another has just begun.

The world says, Once we were separate,
and now we must move in unison."

“I want to think again of dangerous and noble things.
I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing,
as though I had wings.”

"I am a theft waiting to happen, a rotten spell visioning

the onion’s end. Salt. Oil. Softly seared particulate

To sky, to earth, to sun, to moon
To one whole voice that is you."

"I believe the world is beautiful
and that poetry, like bread, is for everyone.
And that my veins don’t end in me
but in the unanimous blood
of those who struggle for life,
love,
little things,
landscape and bread,
the poetry of everyone."

—Roque Dalton (& Jack Hirschman)
