Courage is not enough, but you must find
Courage, or nothing else can do you good.
It’s time to see how far you have been blind
And try to prop your lids apart before
The midnight of the mind.

Listening to Glenn Gould’s piano seat creak, along with his humming, in this recording of the Schoenberg piano works makes me feel almost there in the recording studio. This is how art lives, the hair in the gate, the bit of brush in the dried paint.

One of the many amazing reflective passages in this extraordinary book by @richardschoch.bsky.social How Sondheim Can Save Your Life was an excellent book to end 2024. Here’s to not looking away and keeping the heart open to others.

Got to catch up with this fabulous guy and catch up on so much! His book, How Sondheim Can Change Your Life is an incredible read. I cannot recommend it enough and do not have enough space here to adequately sing its praises. @richardschoch.bsky.social
