#213 Musings Beyond the Bunker (Saturday December 4)
Good morning!
MUSIC
In the past weeks, several people shared their favorites from the Stephen Sondheim songbook. These are some great ones.
From Mark Greenfield, “I’m Still Here” from Follies, sung by the great Elaine Stritch:
From Samantha Millman, “Putting it Together” from Sunday in the Park with George:
And Bernadette Peters and Mandy Patinkin, “Moving On” from Sunday…”:
POETRY
“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety. Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is another day; begin it well and serrenly, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterdays.”
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thank you, Samantha Millman, for providing this wonderful lyric from Into the Woods that touches on grief and loss:
“Sometimes people leave you, halfway through the wood.
Do not let it grieve you.
No one leaves for good.
You are not alone.
No one is alone.”
--Stephen Sondheim, from Into the Woods
Have a great day,
Glenn
