'As long as the candle is burning, it is still possible to mend.' Wise words, and more sensible than Edna St. Vincent Millay talking about how her candle burned at both ends...
Thank you for writing this -- I think in our world, it takes a bit of courage to say this sort of thing out loud. I hope your holiday is healing and full of love and light (and the healing power of the dark, too) and of course, always music. For sure your willingness to share your love of music with us has been a gift in my life over the past year. And your willingness to let us have meaningful discussions in the comments, to create connection and community -- yes, digitally, but still connection -- is deeply appreciated. In the end, the love you take is equal to... well, you know.
I may crib that story about the candle for the podcast...
You don't have to become a "health and wellness" newsletter to place health and wellness as a core value that permeates what you write, and I think you do. But maybe I just read between the lines. And quoting Rabbi Joseph Telushkin on this day goes above and beyond the generosity of spirit for which you seem to have such an easy reach. Enjoy your holiday dinner; you remind me how much to cherish mine.
Beautiful message, especially the notion that we still have time to mend. There’s so much rush and madness going on at this time of year that it’s particularly refreshing to read something like this.
That memory project I mentioned? The one where I'm using music to trigger memories so I can recall specific events in my life? That's definitely gonna involve some mending.
Thanks for this, Kevin. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Of course! Merry Christmas and happy 2025 to you and yours as well.
