Of course I get the spirit and the value of “there is no past or future, only the present”, but I think sometimes it’s merely an unhelpful or even harmful trick of language. There is no past, but there WAS the past. There is no future, but there WILL BE a future.

RIP D'Angelo. Scrounges up a few hundred bucks in the mid-90's, buys a 4-track, composes virtually his entire debut album on it. That (along with our astrology sign) is about it in terms of our parallel lives, but I will always aspire to make something as great as Brown Sugar.

Guitar maker: “Our new shape eliminates the problematic low-end ‘puff of air’ often associated with dreadnaught-style guitars.”

A lot of Mara's Season 1 arc has been to establish herself as an independent adult and realign her relationship with her mother. This flashback gives a glimpse of teen Mara & her mother.
No context needed, but you might look up some greek myths after!
