What is the most precious thing? Time, and the time is too little. Take your time. There is never enough.

Shoe Song 01:12
The ability to take a walk from one point to the next that is half the battle won. Go out and walk. After taking a walk you will probably be hungry. You will want to eat something.
3.
Spoon Song 01:13
Before there were forks, there there were were spoons. The spoon can be used by a baby, by a person eating soup. Watching a person eat soup can break your heart.

[gibberish ad lib.] Amor nos une [love unites us] There are memories vague and fleeting, or sharp and searing. Moods leaving a sense of urgency or disquiet, or a sense of well-being and belonging. And always, objects inhabit the memories. There are some rooms, real, or imagined, some moments, some aspects of light that haunt you.
