The Squirrels of Central Park Are Sad on Mondays, Katherine Pancol

Life often plays tricks on us. It offers us a diamond, hidden under a metro ticket or the fall of a curtain. Ambushed in a word, a glance, a slightly silly smile. We must pay attention to details. They sprinkle our lives with little pebbles and guide us. Brutal people, hurried people, those who wear boxing gloves or make the gravel fly, ignore details. They want something heavy, imposing, flashy; they don't want to waste a minute bending down for a penny, a straw, the hand of a trembling man. But if you lean in, if you stop time, you discover diamonds in an outstretched hand... And life is never sad again. Not on Saturday, not on Sunday, not on Monday...
