There were days
and there were days
and there were days between
Summer flies and August dies
the world grows dark and mean
Comes the shimmer of the moon
on black infested trees
the singing man is at his song
the holy on their knees
the reckless are out wrecking
the timid plead their pleas
No one knows much more of this
than anyone can see anyone can see
– The Days Between lyrics by Robert Hunter/music by Jerry Garcia
The Days Between run from Aug. 1st thru Aug. 9th. From Jerry Garcia’s birthday to the day that he died. I meant to post this yesterday to commemorate the start, but I had other things on my mind. Which seems appropriate, these 9 days means different things to different people, to me it’s always been a call to reflect and take stock. After this past year that seems appropriate.
So consider this my offering to what and who ever.
