“But still, a tragedy without a tune is like a sun that doesn’t give off heat; dead and nothing will grow from it. When men go to war, they do it to music. When they set sails for better shores and row into the vast blue, they do it to music. Even our hearts beat to some rhythm. And the director who neglects it neglects what makes us men.”

“There are moments that cry out to be fulfilled.
Like, telling someone you love them.

when headlong might save a life,
even, possibly, your own.”
― Mary Oliver, Felicity
