Today I said goodbye in that sing-songy way that you do when sunlight is spilling in through the window and you want to be heard from another room. The way that you do when you expect to see someone again.
"A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry,
and see a fine picture every day of his life
in order that worldly cares
may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful,
which God has implanted in the human soul."
-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
