light and dark



wilco played last night at the amazing civic theatre in downtown auckland... before the show my wife and i had got some absolutely tragic news that afternoon about a good friend of ours... it brought home to us how fragile life is and how you are never truly prepared for what it could throw at you at any time... life is not fair and bad things happen to good people... i am not a person who prays at all but i was last night... we were not even going to go to the show but we did... we named our son after that band and they are very special to the both of us... it was a day of total extremes... you get those sometimes... the light is so bright it's blinding and the darkness is so dark that all you can see is black... thank you wilco the band for wilco the songs last night... sorry we had to get up and leave after via chicago... but you gave us what we needed... some light in the darkness...
