“It Will Be OK.”

The most ordinary comfort in the English language. The thing we say to children in the dark, to friends in crisis, to ourselves in the bathroom mirror on the worst mornings. Written thousands of times it sheds its ordinariness completely and becomes something stranger and more profound — a sustained act of faith in the face of evidence, a refusal to concede to despair, a bet placed again and again on the possibility that things can change, that we can change, that the current moment is not the final word. The margins on this piece tell the truth about the days that was hard to believe. The finished piece insists on it anyway.
