I am still emotionally drained reflecting on the life lessons from the Milwaukee Rep’s performance of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town that Debbie and I enjoyed last Sunday. As a high school student and undergraduate, I used to keep journals documenting how literature and the arts impacted me. Thornton Wilder was born on my sister’s birthday and attended my alma mater Oberlin College.

Vita brevis. Kruse control over 1440 minutes? I give thanks.
Well Done David! Makes one look again at what is important.

Thanks, Colleague. The thoughts were triggered in part by our deep conversation which I continued to think about after we parted. Some of those lines in the play included in the Rep video hit truly close to home. The “Kruze” link refers to the 1440 minutes in a day.
