This may just be the most important book in the world. Remember what wonder is. Remember what’s real, what matters, what is gone and lost forever. “Where have you been? Why didn’t you come sooner?” We are not owed the unicorn’s visit, but we may stumble across her by grace, a gift.
But we don’t have unicorns anymore, we don’t have much magic, so we toil and strive and try to remember beyond the grim veil of the mundane and common. But if you listen very carefully, you may be lucky to hear an old song and remember a piece of the tale, if only for a shining moment.
A Study in Drowning
Ava Reid
If I had been a beta reader, I would’ve pointed out that no music college and/or orchestra in the history of orchestras needed more flautists. We’re positively overwhelmed with flautists.
…You know what we usually need more of? Fricking violas. Upright bass. Bassoons. The non-glamorous ones. We are [a study in] drowning in violins and flutes.

PBS has a free American Masters documentary about Mary Oliver available on YouTube! I know a lot of people here love Mary Oliver, so I wanted to get the word out. 😊
(I did a quick search of PB Club to make sure this hadn’t already been posted, but apologies if I missed something.)
