This is beautiful, almost beyond words. Requiem, composed by Victoria Kelly, sung by Simon O'Neil, based on a Sam Hunt poem of the same name. Wonderfully secular and deeply moving - especially the last verse.

They say ‘the lighthouse keeper’s world is round’ -
The only lighthouse keeper that I know
Inhabits space, his feet well clear of ground.
I say he is of light, of midnight snow.

That other lighthouse keeper – he they say
Whose world is round – is held responsible
For manning his one light by night; by day,
For polishing his lenses, bulb and bell.

My man, my friend who lately leaves,
Is quite another type.
He climbs no spiral stairs but go he does to man the night
To reappear among his polished stars

Oof, I didn’t write at all during the week? I think I was just tired all week. The weather was hot one day and a couple of days later, rain! I didn’t mind the rain even though it was on Saturday and derailed our plans to go to farmers market.

Let’s see, what was the week like? I’ll pick a picture from each […]

Tuesday – 02 April

Yesterday was the first day of the 4th quarter and first day back from spring break. I had a lot of emails to go through! I didn’t have a lot of voicemails, which was surprising. Or maybe not.
