How I'm feeling lately

Give a listen to Manuel Obregon's piece, "Allegro Solemne". (err, make that a link. The file won't play.)

Also, do you believe in magic?

Yes, I do.

Finally: "Sometime in your life, you will have occasion to say: what is this thing called time?"

and some nice prose to accompany this perfect, reflective Simone tune, courtesy of the Times:

"We are poised between the extremities and homogeneities of nature, between delirium and ad infinitum, and our andante tempo may be the best, possibly the only pace open to us, or even to life generally. If we assume that whatever other intelligent beings that may be out there, in whatever alpha, beta or zepto barrio of the galaxy they may call home, arose through the gradual tragicomic tinkerings of natural selection, then they may well live lives proportioned much like ours, not too long and not too short. They’re dressed in a good pair of walking boots and taking it a day at a time."

Mmm.
