Episode 85 – The Everlong Dichotomy of Life

In Memoriam
Kirby Morrow
1973-2020

As we step closer and closer to finally closing the book on the year 2020, it’s important to know the tremendous weight it has brought along with it has been, in so many ways, insurmountable. From the major calamities to the more personal struggles, this year is leaving a gigantic impact on just about everyone. And as we step closer to casting this year off, it is just as important to remember the calamity that wreaked havoc, from the macro to the micro, so that we can work to better ourselves, and each other, in the year and years to follow. The sad truth is, though, that we all have a lot of work to do to get to the point where we can all better ourselves and each other, and that we cannot forget what has come about and those we have lost throughout the year.

We live, we lose, we learn, we move forward. That is the nature of life, and is also the nature of this show, with moments to mourn from our past and present but also moments to look toward our future.
