A lighthouse in foggy conditions

It’s easy to take for granted that this Richard gentleman exists and that we can listen to him whenever we want without having to first have slaved away and been selected for mere entrance to some exclusive institution where we would perhaps be worthy.
Life is unquestionably richer for his mind and the expression of it via words and sounds and I try as
I enjoy his enlightening tones not to reflect on the fact that he’s in his 8th decade and that at some not too distant point one will have to make do with life in a world where he speaks to me in a past tense.
These fragments are immensely valuable.
Worth Spotify pennies alone.
