I think our anchors are varied and certainly change with time, with some standing the test of time while others are more empheral. The ones the stand the test of time become more and more stabilizing as the decades pass. I think of my marriage , the pickup basketball game I have been part of for 25+years , extended family since I’ve been aware and boyhood and college friends that are still there. Like an anchor I don’t need to test it very often - there is solace knowing that it is there. As time marches on I value those anchors more and more each day. My wife and I just went to a “Simon and Garfunkel song book” show. There were many gems throughout the night but the performance of “Bookends” was particularly poignant. Indulge in some quiet time, put on headphones/earbuds , grab a glass of wine (or other spirit) and emerge yourself in the emotion that Paul Simon evokes.
Tim - very much appreciate the comment. Would love your thoughts on this post, which references a childhood favorite of Mr Simon's. (Though my all time favorite is The Boxer).
