The music of Philip Glass often bridges the latter days of winter with the first peeps of spring, and so I went down the Glass rabbit hole of music videos and came upon this slightly meditative and gloriously mesmerizing piece entitled ‘Glassworks’ which is as fitting as any other sound right now. Contemplative and compelling, it transforms into whatever you need, the way a good piece of music moves into many spaces, taking up many different forms.
We are all a little weary right now – perhaps now more than ever before – and not just because we are battling the last few weeks of winter. The world has been rocked. Some of us have turned on each other, just when we need each other the most. It makes me want to be a little kinder to everyone I know, and even to people I don’t. A little more patient with strangers. A little sweeter to Andy. A little better to my parents. A little nicer to my friends. And maybe a little more forgiving of myself.
