OK this song manages to halt my tears and weeping, leaving me in a place of suspended awe, washed over by a clarity slowly coming into frame. something about the gift of being alive at the same time of those we love/cherish/appreciate and the devastation of things ending and the honor of it all. the story goes that garfunkel asked simon to write a song honoring the late architect. instead, simon wrote the lyrics under the guise of their foreboding breakup because he apparently didn't know who wright was...I don't fully buy that and lean more into the narrative that he saw this as perfect opportunity to make the most subliminal breakup track. anyway I can never tire of it and the flute solo is divine. the hand drums! I simply adore.

less attachment to identity markers and more-sensory driven living/being. staying conscious and in touch with our core essence and saying yes to life when the forces that be make it very easy to say no and cut ourselves off from others and the rest of the world. embodying this truth can ignite a sense of freedom and liberation that is a sexy balm...if you are into that kinda thing

nothing short of a spiritual advisor. here he is illuminating a truth I believe we all feel to be true when down and out but often forget/neglect out of allegiance to self-pity or the traps of misery. this could almost read as a hallmark card quote, but it exists elsewhere...so by default, it is its own thing.
I do not mean to be sentimental about suffering— but people who cannot suffer can never grow up, can never discover who they are.
