Today…
From the wise and wonderful Jesse Kornbluth:
“Hello darkness my old friend.” Paul Simon sang “Sounds of Silence” at the funeral for a teacher killed in Connecticut, and in this month of bad news, it feels like the song of the season. Darkness is not just about light, it’s also about weight. And these are heavy days…
And yet, as I look back on a fraught year, I see that, more often than not, I’ve sided with the poet who wrote “How bright a light there must be to cast so dark a shadow.”
