Zitat des Tages über Knöchel / Knuckle:

I knuckle down with my demons, and with my weaknesses.

I used to lie between cool, clean sheets at night after I'd had a bath, after I had washed my hair and scrubbed my knuckles and finger-nails and teeth. Then I could lie quite still in the dark with my face to the window with the trees in it, and talk to God.
