Sunja, I made a promise to you once. When you were just a week old, your mom and I, we barely slept. We stayed up night and day to watch over you. That’s when I swore to you, as long as you kept breathing, I would do anything to keep the ugliness of the world from touching you. I’m going to keep that promise.

[ID: screenshot of a website page on the book titled “Ancient Egyptian Representations of Turtles” by Henry G. Fischer (1968). Under author’s name it says that “This title is out of print”, and there’s two buttons labeled retrospectively “Read online” and “Download PDF”. /END ID]

20 YEARS OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY 

(DECEMBER 19, 2001)

It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened? 

But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.

What are we holding on to, Sam?  That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

As an artist, this is my favourite song in all of musical theatre. It's about accidentally distancing yourself from the world to create art, but the absolute joy of creating. The absolute intoxication of making art. How you have to finish the hat.

Thank you Stephen Sondheim for writing this song.

May his memory be for blessing.

Stephen Sondheim 1930-2021
