Redtree Times

Every aspect of Nature reveals a deep mystery and touches our sense of wonder and awe. Those afraid of the universe as it really is, those who pretend to nonexistent knowledge and envision a Cosmos centered on human beings will prefer the fleeting comforts of superstition. They avoid rather than confront the world. But those with the courage to explore the weave and structure of the Cosmos, even where it differs profoundly from their wishes and prejudices, will penetrate its deepest mysteries.

— Carl Sagan, Cosmos

This is Enough Said Week on the blog. Maybe it should be a month or even a yearlong thing. As it has been in recent days, I have nothing to add here to the words of the late Mr. Sagan.

Here’s a favorite song from Daviid Bromberg, off his 1972 self-titled debut album. I won a copy of this album and about 25 other albums in a radio contest back then where the local AM station was clearing out its stock of promo albums. These were albums sent to the station by record companies with the hope that they would get airplay. David Bromberg didn’t get a lot of AM airplay. But I was glad to get the album. It’s a peach. This song has little to do with the painting or the words of Carl Sagan.

I just like it and that’s good enough for this morning. This is Suffer to Sing the Blues.
