Saturday Good Reads



Talking to a grandmother and finding a map. The gift of a good dad. A photograph of a boxcar. Playing a piano like a waterfall. The story of a cellist who made music in the midst of chaos. A poem about natural instincts, and a poem about secrets. Good stuff was all over the internet this week.
