In my haste this morning, I didn't listen to the full recording! There is a kitchen noise in there. I think the Thanksgiving preparation pans-banging noise works!

Beautiful!

Here’s something that occurred to me...

Somewhere I adopted this tradition

To just gather to say simply thanks

For just this chance at life

Existing on this spinning sphere

Just now just here

A chance at existence when so much is inert

Just to know I was here

And so were you

And we knew and saw and held and loved

So only when we don’t forget to see,

To feel, to understand how this

unlikeliest of unlikely likelihoods came to pass

somehow in the din and the confusion and sadness

Then this will have became enough
