stormdogI just listened to the story that is the first part of this podcast tonight. I thought it was so moving that I want to share it here.
In its way, it reminds me of the opening scene of Up, a relationship condensed into a few poetic minutes. It reminds me, too, of the fleeting nature of life, and how important things are as they are experienced before they disappear.
It's a story by Jenny Hollowell called "A History of Everything, Including You." It's described this way on the podcast's website:
It's a powerful tale with a sweeping scope -- the history not just of one couple, but everything that led to them -- distilled into a poetic crush of just a few pages. The piece was born out of a sense of frustration Jenny felt about trying to account for "everything" in order to understand her life.
