I didn’t go to the moon, I went much further—for time is the longest distance between two places.
—The Glass Menagerie, Tennessee Williams (1945)
I am going to be writing less in the coming days. Or weeks.
I feel like I’ve said enough to last a while. Maybe too much. But I will share some things, some words from others that I like, images from myself and others, and some music.
As always, here is a bit of Sunday Morning Music. This is The Moon from Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglová, also known as The Swell Season. You might know them best as the two lead characters in the charming movie Once. They also wrote the songs featured in the film. You might or might not also recognize Hansard from his only other acting job, as the guitarist for the band of the same name in another charming film, The Commitments. I am a fan of Hansard’s songwriting and his performances, which always feature a level of maximum effort, be it on a street corner or in a concert hall. This giving of maximum effort is something I find appealing in artists of any kind, something I try to emulate, though not always successfully.
Be that as it may, this is a lovely, haunting piece.
