BONUS: I’ve embedded Zach’s new album & a new music video for a song from it @ the end of his missive here, you can thank me later – ed.
below are some show-showings I loved in 2017 , and here’s a nicely translated little verse from Goethe :
Over all the hills
Is rest.
Scarce by a breath
Stirs a crest
Of one green tree.
In the wood the birds are still;
Patience, until
Peace comes to thee.
