The ghost of life: The bright, blessed day


It’s Friday of an absolutely grotesque week in the novel coronavirus pandemic of 2020, so we need to lighten it up a bit. What better, then, for my National Poetry Month entry than Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World”?

I’m choosing Eva Cassidy’s cover of it because she is an amazing example of grace in the worst circumstances. She sang almost until her death at age 33. Her very voice brings me hope and fills me with joy. We need her today.
