Nick Cave’s latest album somehow echoes the depths of one’s
soul, the struggle to find peace in this world, of letting go – of trauma,
pain, or dreams deferred – of jumping into life, but learning how to float
inside of it.
We only live once, or at least we remember this one life
until that final day. And still, days repeat themselves moment by moment: we
wake up, we go to work, we return home. We do our chores on repeat, and from
time to time we have our moments of joy: a child smiling, or hugging, a friend’s
calling, a walk in the forest, all the things, and all the people we long to,
whom we call family or sanctuary. From time to time we dare to try more. And we
take a step back from the routine and a step forward into the unknown.
