“There is a certain sadness one feels in remembering happy times: turning over the last page of a good novel, and reflecting over the wonders we have just experienced, the characters who have become our friends; discovering old pictures, seeing ourselves in the halcyon throes of youth, silly smiles on our innocent faces; the plangent last notes of a Chopin nocturne, the theme, growing softer and softer now, floating across the room to rest against our face like the rhythmic breaths of a peaceful, sleeping lover.
I don't know how: but Greetings From Storybrooke captures this feeling, this happy sadness - "Oh heavy lightness," as Shakespeare put it. Can our lives ever be like this? Perhaps not, but we can watch, watch every single day, and wrap ourself in that happy sadness. And maybe forget, if only for a little while, the way our lives really are, the way they have to be: our heavy lightness. Thanks, Bill Meeks and Anne Marie DeSimone, for that, and thanks to iTunes for letting people download such a wonderful and informative podcast. Thank you all.”
