every day in 2016, write a sentence or a paragraph or a poem that appreciates
alacrity
yes, alacrity. you probably need me to remind you what it means: brisk and cheerful readiness, cheerful willingness. you know it in the way the vets set up for and run The Last Sunday, the poetry reading in Culver City. you know it in the way Richard Modiano introduces an event at Beyond Baroque. you know it in the way Jason Brain or Sean Hill do anything. now that I've got you thinking of it, you can probably name a dozen other examples. but it's not something that naturally occurs. maybe rarely it does. no, it's something a person brings to what they're doing. something a person gives you freely, and you're almost embarrassed to receive, it is that special! thank you to people who bring it, admiration, appreciation.
