Big Mercy

Thanks for sending Peter Gallway’s “Big Mercy.” It is, indeed a big mercy. So well crafted and realized. A number of wonderful parts. One is, of course, “One day there will be only the quiet. It will stretch forever . . . ”
Within a plethora of absolute noise (in its many manifestations) this is such a stunning and simple truth. It is a coda of survival. I find it resonating in my own life.
