"If I had remained invisible, the truth would have remained hidden, and I couldn't allow that."
- from Cloud Atlas
That line has not stopped ringing around in my head since watching that masterpiece again the other night. Not that this should surprise you.
It's after 1am, and the new Bowie record is streaming on iTunes. To say it's fantastic would be an understatement. To say it's his best album since 1980 would not be exaggerating, and I LOVED a few of his 90's records. Ohhhhh, to be that vital at 66 years old! Wow.
It was kind of a strange day. Spent the morning in one of my nihilistic funks, wanting to break everything and start again. Followed that up with a good session with Jason in the afternoon, then a surprise rehearsal with Beth Ann in the evening.
As always, the sound we make, and this deep friendship that has blossomed, heal me so deeply. Our music is this safe space, this clean & tender bubble, that I get to live in. What a gift.
Alright. Bowie just finished. I am awed. And with that, bed. Good night.
