Keeping a container of cookie fortunes bedside, and tipping it over was like throwing bones. Patterns and arrangements presage something, voodoo needed to say what. The flooral arrangement (they spilled onto the floor); so pick one: "Your problem is not defeat: It is an opportunity to grow." What I cannot tell is whether I picked up Bernie's fortune, or the nurses'. Certainly not a clinton pickup. No opportunity to grow when the will is wholly lacking.
