Ya know, I don’t know how to say this... I don’t think that I would have ever known love if not for music to guide me. The highs and lows, the joy, the joys, the joy, the tragedies. The rip-roaring delights and the soulful despair and just, just the music of my lifetime.
During the past week, as I’ve been streaming music, I realized that my life is streaming now, too. That, maybe, it has always been a streaming song and that, maybe, the last chorus has been sung and I’ll soon fade into silence. These have been some strange days.
My god — I didn’t know that you were so very close to the fires. The largest of California’s recorded history, I read and saw this morning. 14,000 firefighters. The news reports the devastation but not, that I’ve seen, the day-to-dayness of living with screeching smoke alarms.
Take care, please; please, take care.

Music leads to love. I think it's because music
is love. That is my experience, anyway, along with yours. The streaming life.....
Yes, the largest fire in California history is burning not far from my town. We've been smoked in since late June. Odd, they - the news - doesn't address the day-to-day, it's true. I beat the darn smoke alarm with a broom handle until it fell from the ceiling (did I already say that? If so, I'm sorry I'm on repeat.). I keep hearing various neighbor's alarms going off. I don't know how they sleep at night with the loud sound. I seem to just cry and cry, every day.
People are on edge. Irritable. Sad. Having bizarre dreams. My local grocery store, well known for having the friendliest checkers in existence (I sometimes wonder if they belong to a cult, they are almost frighteningly pleasant, as if brainwashed. Not that I'm complaining; I'm not)- even they are getting a bit snappish.
Irked.
I don't even have the words to properly thank you for your kindness. And for yet another thoughtful, beautifully written post.
