It's 4 o' clock on no Tuesday afternoon in particular, and my soul feels at home.
I'm spinning my grandmother's Roger Williams' record (1962) on the turntable.
As her initials go round and round on the label (on a piece of tape probably itself 60 years old), I marvel at the magic portal that has just opened up to me, across space and across time - to my grandmother, wherever in the forever she may be - here, there and everywhere. Yesterday and now.
But then I also feel the flame of my soul flickering as it recognizes the crescendos, and piano trills. Maybe another portion of me is also listening in a slice of time that I can't see, but can only feel.
And it's enough.
Enough to make this Tuesday afternoon sublime.
Thank you for every goodness + every grace.
