Sleepy.
Tonight begins, as it often does, with nothing in particular. A welcome to new listeners. A quiet confession that this whole thing might be “content striving to be non-content.” And then, slowly, the mind wanders.
We drift through questions about what really matters. A conversation with Nina about our daughter. A small opera meeting about Händel’s Giulio Cesare that somehow opens a door to bigger things: emotions, revenge, love, and the strange scaffolding that holds human life together.
From there the path winds through an empty conference room in Stockholm, a moment of unexpected peace, the difficulty of weekends, and the odd fact that the future never actually arrives.
There are memories too. A father throwing a ball impossibly high into the sky. A small boy asking, again and again, “Are you dead?” The quiet shock of realizing that the giants of childhood eventually become two elderly people in another city.
Nothing is solved. Nothing is concluded. But for a while we travel backwards on the train of thoughts, watching the rails disappear behind us.
And maybe, somewhere along the way, you drift off to sleep.
Sleep Tight!
