Comrades I must confess something, during the quarterly totals I drew tiny wings in the margin of my notepad!!!
Little ones, like on a cherub but wrong, too many feathers, my hand did it before my brain could stop it, and then I crossed them out with the red pen like a criminal!!!
But listen, is this not also a sign??? Beauty INTERRUPTED the ugliest ledger page, it forced its way in between the columns of numbers like Gabriel forcing his way into the silence with the empty push, yes???
Valentin Pavlovich did not see, he is made of paper and cold tea, he would not understand wings, he would say "Natalia, the totals" and that is ALL he would say, the man has never had a vision in his LIFE
Should I have left the wings there?? Should I have drawn 47 of them??? Tell me honestly, I am asking the dumb question tonight!!!
