My best friend and I were talking last night about the poignancy of New Years. We had just come from a brilliant performance of Hakoah Wien at the Gorki Theater (much too complicated to describe except to say that it is the best piece of contemporary theater Ive seen in years) and were ruminating about how its all about the passing of time and the way that we take stock of it. I am feeling enormous gratitude today for my life. Even if it seems to move in fits and starts, it moves, and we all continue to learn and grow. Growth is a painful process, but learning to take joy in that forward motion offers a clear and clean perspective. I am so grateful for the people that love me and that I love. More than anything, I am grateful to be singing again. A few years ago, I thought I would never sing again outside of my church job, but it felt like I had cut off my arms, or worse, cut out my soul. Now I have put myself out in front of people again and the joy I feel when I sing is something I thought I had lost forever. Singing this song was one of my favorite moments of my performing life this past year, and it concerns itself very much with the passage of time, and spending it with those one loves. Ive posted it before and I post it again, wishing all of my dear ones a beautiful 2015.
