We celebrate the 250th Evening under Lamplight show, with a party triptych and then bring back Thoreau for some helpful observations about raising ourselves to higher planes, in touch with our “genius”, and then a final Hallelujah. You are invited to attend.
[As heard on Cambridge 105 Radio]
Congratulations on this milestone of your 250th show!
Where else could we go from Thoreau to “It’s my Party” to many other reflections with your uniquely seductive way of story-telling?
Thanks for this, a labour of love as you say and perhaps, like Odysseus, an exploration of the world with a homecoming which is almost beyond reach–we are travelling with you and shall continue to do so!
Sail on, captain!
Scott
Or, as Whitman put it:
Sail forth — steer for the deep waters only,
Reckless O soul, exploring, I with thee, and thou with me,
For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared to go,
And we will risk the ship, ourselves and all.
O my brave soul!
O farther farther sail!
O daring joy, but safe! are they not all the seas of God?
O farther, farther, farther sail!
