The Journey
One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began, though the voices around you kept shouting their bad advice— though the whole house began to tremble and you felt the old tug at your ankles. “Mend my life!” each voice cried. But you didn’t stop. You knew what you had to do, though the wind pried with its stiff fingers at the very foundations, though their melancholy was...
Jeremy Renner, is that you?
Grant-Lee Phillips and Jon Brion performing See America on Bill Mahr’s show.
I love this stripped down version. The studio version is over-produced in my opinion and there’s something magical about watching Jon Brion play. It took me forever to find a video of this.

A Maxim by Carl Dennis
To live each day as if it might be the last
Is an injunction that Marcus Aurelius
Inscribes in his journal to remind himself
That he, too, however privileged, is mortal,
That whatever bounty is destined to reach him
