Around the Corner鈥
There are some songs that simply capture everything you find yourself wanting to say at a particular moment in time, only they do it better. Right now, for me, that song is 鈥淪omething鈥檚 Coming,鈥 Tony鈥檚 first act rouser from Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein鈥檚 West Side Story.聽A song of hope, a song of aspiration, a song that seems to acknowledge being a little bit stuck but ready to break loose鈥
Something鈥檚 comin鈥,
Don鈥檛 know when
But it鈥檚 soon
Catch the moon
One-handed catch!
Around the corner
Or whistlin鈥 down the river
How perfectly does that catch our mood right now, as we prepare for a fantastic . We have all been a little bit stuck over this past year and a half, but like Tony we have kept our eyes and ears open for the first signs of change. And, if we do the things we need to do to keep each other safe and well, that moment is upon us, as this edition of the newsletter makes abundantly clear.聽
So let鈥檚 all do that, in the spirit of mutual care and generosity that so robustly defines and animates our Hylton Center community. It鈥檚 up to all of us to make Tony鈥檚 hope a reality, so we can sing along with him in full, confident expectation:
The air is hummin鈥
And something great is comin鈥!
See you soon!
