Beautiful poetry, S.E.! Once is also one of my all-time favorite movies.

I was able to see them when they were first touring together, and it was spectacular. I also saw Glen Hansard solo a few years back, also awesome. Thanks for sharing this today.

A lovely poem, S.E. And a beautiful thought. I prefer the gratitude (and learning) from looking back. I don't like to stay behind in the good old days. I'm grateful I lived them, and took learning from them into being who I am now, Just as I am grateful for today and what I take from that for tomorrow. It's all about growth.

Very curious about the movie and the song now, though... I see people mention Once. Haven't seen it, but will listen to the soundtrack.

Totally fair to fall for that song (and musical). Thanks for the poem that does it justice.

The song makes for lovely piano-playing, and for a fantastic musical done in a close-quarters pub-style staging.
