PINK FLOYD’S “THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON” TURNS 50

Lately, I’ve been thinking about chaos. More specifically, I’ve been thinking about the vast interiority of a person, and how it’s impossible to fully map the terrain of oneself.

DESCRIBE THE LAST DIFFICULT “GOODBYE” YOU SAID.

Midstream into the Covid-19 pandemic, I received the news that a colleague was battling a brain tumor. In prior years, we’d had events that I organized for charity each summer in our office. Robyn had been a part of all of them, winning our version of “Survivor” one year (if you could have seen her face!). After car parades past her home and years of her smiling face and positive outlook at work, saying goodbye to this gem of a person was more than difficult.
