#441 Musings Beyond the Bunker (Saturday August 27)
Good morning,
MUSIC
Today, David Crosby’s “5 Albums I Can’t Live Without,” with a curious predisposition to Steely Dan (with which I concur):
And Gregg Leach shares The Rolling Stones and a Ukrainian choir in “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”:
POETRY
This week’s poem is from Eileen Fracchia:
SOMETIMES
by David Whyte
Sometimes
if you move carefully
through the forest,
breathing
like the ones
in the old stories,
who could cross
a shimmering
bed of leaves
without a sound,
you come
to a place
whose only task
is to trouble you
with tiny
but frightening requests,
conceived out of nowhere
but in this place
beginning to lead everywhere.
Requests to stop
what you are doing
right now,
and
to stop what you
are becoming
while you do it,
questions
that can make
or unmake
a life,
questions
that have patiently
waited for you,
questions
that have no right
to go away.
Have a great day,
Glenn
