0:01[music] [music] [music] The same old song comes [singing] on again. Halfway through we know the [music] tune. A cup is set beside the

0:24books. Keys are resting near the wall. [music] Nothing here has changed too much since the last we looked [singing] around. [music] There's a mark beside the handle. A scratch [music] beneath [singing] the wooden frame.

0:47Things get worn when [singing] they get used. [music] That's probably why we keep them. New [music] is nice, but some old things [singing] already know where [music] they belong. Keep what works and let [singing] it

1:08stay. [music] There's comfort in the usual [singing] ways. [music] knowing where to reach without looking [singing] twice or thinking [music] first. Some things earn their place so slowly [singing] we forget they ever did.

1:30[music] A song ends, another starts. This one [music] too [singing] we've heard before. Someone knows [music] the second verse and quietly [singing] follows [music] along.

1:51No one says a word about it. Still we [music and singing] both know every part. Outside changes week by week. [music] Inside mostly stays the same. A different [music] cup, a different season, same old keys

2:14beside the wall. There are [music] worse ways to spend an [singing] ordinary [music] afternoon. Keep what works and let it stay. There's comfort in the [music and singing] usual ways.

2:34Knowing where to reach without [music and singing] looking twice or thinking [music] first. Some things [singing] earn their place so slow we forget they ever did. [music]

2:55The song is done. We gather up everything we [singing] brought along. Tomorrow maybe [music] we'll be back and know exactly where to [singing] go. [music]

3:22[music] >> [music] >> A few coins stay in a pocket. A folded note is there as well.

3:45We forgot what [music] it was for so it can stay [singing] another week. >> [music] >> The whole day has very little [music] written down for us [singing] to do. Someone mentions going [music] somewhere, then forgets to say exactly

4:08where. [music] That sounds fine. We grab our things and [singing] leave [music] before we change our minds. At the first turn, we choose [singing and music] left, mostly because it's closer. No need [music] keeping track of

4:30everything. Some days [singing] work without a list. [music] Go a little further than planned. Come back when it [music] feels right. [singing] What we miss. Can't wait till later. There's always another [music] chance.

4:54A small arcade [singing and music] has three old games. One still works and two [music and singing] do not. We spend a coin and lose two quickly. Try once more with much the [music and singing] same result. Still we laugh more than expected.

5:15So [music] the money did its job. Outside [singing] again we change direction. There's no reason not to now. [music and singing] One more step becomes another. Soon we're [singing] farther than we [music] thought.

5:35Nothing waiting needs us [music] badly. So we take our own sweet pace. [music] No need keeping track of everything. Some days [singing] work without a list. Go a little further [music] than planned. Come back when it feels

5:57[music] right. What we miss. Can wait [singing] till later. There's always another [music] chance. [music] By the end, the notes still folded. Coins are [singing] nearly all gone now.

6:20Whatever [music] we forgot this morning [singing] can remain forgotten today. >> [music]

6:45>> The box opens [music] on the first try. For once, nothing seems to stick. Everything [music] is where we left it. Even the thing [music and singing] we came to find. Take it out and close the lid. That was [singing] easier than expected.

7:09[music] A small repair [singing] needs only tape. No searching for another tool. [music] One clean fold [singing] in two short pieces holded better than before. We [singing] were ready for a problem. [music] There was hardly one [singing] at all.

7:31Some [music] things work without a struggle. Let them be when [singing] they do. [music] No need adding extra trouble to a job [music and singing] that's nearly through. Take the easy answer. [singing] Sometimes it may be the proper [music]

7:52one. Missing screw [music] is in the drawer right beside the things we [music] need. Even that feels almost lucky. [music]

8:13Usually they're never there. Put it in and turn it twice. Everything [music] sits straight again. Step away and check our work. Nothing wobbles, nothing moves. For a job we kept [music and singing]

8:34avoiding that was hardly worth the worry. Put the tape and [singing] tools away before we lose them once again. Some things work [singing] without a struggle. Let them be when they do. No need

8:55[singing] adding extra [music] trouble to a job [singing] that's nearly through. [music] Take the easy [singing] answer. Sometimes it may be the proper one. Close the drawer and clear the floor.

9:18Everything is back in place. Nice when something goes this simply. We'll take that for today. [music]

9:44[music] >> [music] >> The weather changed before we noticed. Now the air feels easier outside.

10:06[music and singing] A few clouds move above the roofs. Slow enough to [music] watch a while. No one planned [singing] to stay out long. Still [music] no one turns back yet. [music] We pass a garden near [singing] the wall. Something small is growing

10:28there. [music] A dog sleeps beside a gate. Doesn't move [music] when people pass. Everything seems fairly settled for this part of [singing] the day. Some afternoons [music] ask very little,

10:50just a place to wander through. [music] Nothing grand needs to happen. Nothing special [singing] needs a name. Keep on [music and singing] going till we're ready. Then we'll find our [music] way back.

11:17There's a bench, but we keep walking. [music] Neither one feels [singing] tired yet. A bicycle [music] moves past slowly. [singing] Then the path is clear again. We talk about a dozen things, [music and singing] none of them very

11:38important. >> [music] >> By the time we start returning, [singing] the air has cooled a little [music] more. One more [singing] more block feels easy enough. So we take [music] the longer way. [singing] No great story for the

11:59evening. [music] Still it turned out rather well. Some afternoons ask [singing] very little. [music] Just a place to wander through. Nothing grand [singing] needs to happen. Nothing [music] special needs a name.

12:19Keep on [music and singing] going till we're ready. And we'll find our [music] way back. [music] Back inside. Our shoes come off. The quiet follows through the room.

12:40That was all the day required. More than enough for me. [music] [music]

13:00After lunch, the [music] clouds pull back. Walls look warmer than before. Glass catches [music] a brighter shade along the edge of every frame. Someone moves [music] a curtain halfway, then decides to leave it there.

13:21Dust we missed is easy to see. [music] Maybe that's the price we pay. Wipe [music] one shelf and leave the others. This was never cleaning day. Still the room looks somehow fresher from a change [music] we didn't make.

13:42Some afternoons turn themselves [singing and music] around without asking anything from us. One [music] clear patch across the floor can change the whole place for a while. [singing] No need chasing [music] after it. It comes and goes the way it

14:03likes. [music] A glass bottle near the wall. Throws [singing and music] a shape across the floor. Move it once, the shape moves too. That becomes a minute's game. [music] Then we put the bottle back exactly where it started [singing] from.

14:26>> [music] >> Later, clouds [singing] return again. Everything grows softer now. [music] The warm patch leaves the floor. No [singing] one really saw it [music] go. Still the room feels changed somehow. Maybe [music] only [singing]

14:46in our heads. Some afternoons [music] turn themselves [singing] around without asking anything from us. [music] One clear patch across the floor can change the whole [music] place for a while. [singing] No need chasing after

15:07it. It comes and goes the way it likes. Curtain stays [music] half open [singing] still. No reason to adjust it now. Whatever [music and singing] comes

15:27across the room can find its own way. [music]

15:49>> [music]

16:03[music] [music] >> A few things wait [music] beside the door. None of them need doing yet. The clock [music] moves on [singing]

16:23without much notice. Pages turn and glasses fill from somewhere near. [music and singing] A soft tune passes then disappears behind [singing] the room. [music] There was more we meant to finish. Maybe [singing] later, maybe not. [music] One

16:45small job can stay till Monday. [singing] Another one can [music] wait as well. For an hour, nothing [singing] matters more than being where we are. Let [singing] the afternoon move slowly. [music] Leave some space between the plans. We

17:07have nowhere [singing] else to hurry. [music] Nothing pulling at our hands. Stay a while [music] and keep things simple. That's enough for now. [music]

17:31A book lies open near the middle. Half a chapter [music] still unread. Someone turns [singing] a page behind me. Someone else gets up [music] to leave. Everything keeps moving softly [singing] without asking us [music] to follow.

17:55Later [singing] on, we'll gather things, find our coats, [music] and head outside. [singing] Until then, there's no good reason [singing] to [music] be thinking past this hour. Another page, [singing] another minute. Both can take as long as needed. Let the

18:18afternoon move slowly. Leave [music] some space between the plans. We have nowhere [singing] else to hurry. Nothing [music] pulling at our hands. Stay [singing] a while [music] and keep things simple.

18:39That's enough [music] for [singing] now. Soon enough, we'll be on our way for [singing] the moment [music] we can stay. Leave the rest where we found it.

19:00It will keep [music and singing] another day. [music] [music]

19:19Dinner ended [music] quite a while ago. One last plate still needs [singing] a rinse. No one moves to do it yet. It isn't [music] going [singing] anywhere. A low song plays behind us soft enough to nearly miss. We talk about a film we

19:43saw. [singing] Neither one remembers the [music] end. One recalls a certain scene. The other says that never happened. After [music] trying for a minute, we decide we're both [music and singing] unsure. Let the evening [music] take its own

20:04shape. There's no [singing] schedule left to keep. Talk a while, then lose the subject. Find another [singing] somewhere else. When the [music] words begin [singing] to slow down, let them [music] slow down, too.

20:27>> [music] >> Someone [singing] finally [music] takes the plate. Water runs and then it's done. The song changes without notice. This one sounds a [singing] little older. >> [music] >> No one knows the singer's name, so we

20:49just keep listening. The story starts [music and singing] about last summer, then gets lost halfway through. Doesn't matter where it ended. [music] We were mostly talking anyway. [singing] Soon the room gets quieter without

21:10anyone deciding. So [music] let the evening take its own shape. There's no schedule left to keep. Talk [music] a while then [singing] lose the subject. Find another somewhere else. When the [music] words begin [singing]

21:30to slow down, let them slow down, too. [music] Glass is empty, music lower. [music and singing] There's not much left to say.

21:50That's all right. We [music] stay a minute and get up and call it a [singing] day.

22:10[music]

22:17>> [music] [music] >> A sleeve gets caught along the handle. You reach over, set it [singing and music] free.

22:37Then you notice one small mark and brush it off without a [music and singing] word. Simple things go by unnoticed. Most [music and singing] of them are better soul. Later there's a heavier bag. [music] You take one side, I take the other.

23:02[music] Neither asks who should carry. We just lift and keep on going at the stairs. [music] We change our hands then keep moving up again. [music] Care [singing] can look like almost nothing. Small enough [singing]

23:22to miss sometimes. [music] Holding something for a second. Making room [singing] without being asked. [music] No big words are really needed. Most days [music] they'd be too much.

23:43A loose scarf slips behind [music and singing] you. I catch the end before it falls. [music] You look [music] back and give a smile. Then we're talking about the day.

24:06By the [music] next few steps, we've both forgotten why we [music] stopped it all. There are things we never mention. Because [music] they [singing] happen all the time, passing [music] things across the room.

24:27Saving half without a question. Maybe [music] that's what makes them matter. They [singing] don't ask to be remembered. [music] Care [singing] can look like almost nothing. Small enough to miss sometimes. [music]

24:49Holding something for a second. Making [music] room without being asked. No [music and singing] big words are really needed. Most days they'd be too much. At the end we [music] take our things,

25:10check the floor and look around. [music] Nothing lost and nothing missing. [music] Off we go the way [singing] we came. [music]

25:31>> [music]

25:35>> A stripe bag falls from the shelf. [music] Three old cards [singing] come out behind it. [music] One has writing on [singing] the back. Another only [music] has a date. The third one makes us laugh before we [singing] even [music]

25:56read a word. There's a picture taken badly. [music and singing] How the face is out of frame. Someone [music] wrote [singing] a joke beneath it. Still not funny, but we laugh. Maybe because [music and singing] we know exactly who would write a thing

26:20like that. Some old things get [music and singing] better somehow. Not because they age so well. [music] Maybe we just change around [singing] until they mean something else. Keep [music] the funny [singing] parts together. Those are worth a second

26:44look. [music] Another [singing] card has someone's number. Probably [music] useless by now. Still, we don't throw it away. Pack. [music] It goes into the pile. There are things we keep for reasons no

27:07one needs to understand. The strike bag gets filled [music and singing] again. Cards go in and string goes too. [music] Before it closes, we read the joke one more time [music] for no [singing] good reason. Still not clever. Still it

27:29works. Maybe that's [music] enough for us. Some old [music and singing] things get better somehow. Not because they age so well. Maybe we just [music] change around them till they [singing] mean something else.

27:50Keep the funny [music] parts together. [singing] Those are worth a second look. [music]

28:13Back goes [music] back above the shelf. Everything is safe inside. [music] Next time it falls down [singing] again, we'll [music] probably do the same.

28:32>> [music] [music] >> Curtains move [music] a little inward.

28:53Air comes through [singing] the narrow gap. A [music] book rests across my knees. I've been reading the [music and singing] same page twice from outside. A bicycle [singing] bell passes [music] once, then fades away.

29:16The room [singing] feels almost empty, [music] though everything is still in place. A glass of water [singing and music] near the books. leaves a ring upon the wood. Wipe it once [music] and turn the page.

29:36This time I [singing] make it through. Keep [music] the room as quiet as it [singing] is. Nothing [music] needs to fill the space. Let the sounds [music] come when they come and disappear [singing] when they [music] are done.

29:58There are hours [singing] made for doing and some made for hardly [singing] anything. [music] A car passes far below. [music] Then the [singing] building goes still again.

30:20One [music] soft page turns beneath my hand and settles flat. [music] No one calls and nothing rings for once. That [music] suits me well. The air changes as it gets later.

30:43Curtains [music] barely [singing] move at all. Close the book without a marker. I'll remember where I was. [music] Maybe not, but that's a problem for [music] another [singing] reading day.

31:04Keep the room as quiet as it is. [music and singing] Nothing needs to fill the space. Let the [music] sounds come when they come [singing] and disappear when they are done. [music] There are hours made for doing

31:26and some made for hardly [singing] anything. [music] Set the glass beside the sink. [music] Leave the [singing] book where it has been. [music] Nothing more to finish here.

31:47The room [music] can stay this way. [music]

32:10>> [music] [music] >> A button waits [music] to be sewn back. A letter needs a simple reply. [music]

32:31Neither [singing] one feels very urgent, [music] so they stay beside the books. Someone asks what [music] comes next. No one has a proper [singing] answer. [music] We could go and find some lunch or [singing] take a walk

32:53around the block. [music] Either sounds about as good. No need making much of it. Pick [music] away when we get there. [singing] Change it later if we like. [music] Things can happen as they happen. We

33:18don't [singing] need to know ahead. [music] Take the [singing] easy way for once. See where the hours [music] go. If we change our minds halfway, that works just as [music] well.

33:47[music] We head out without deciding left or right [singing] until the turn. >> [music] >> The small place looks fairly [singing] quiet, so we [music] stop and wander in. Nothing planned, but here [singing and music] we are.

34:09Seems to work most every time. [music] Later on, the button waits exactly where [singing] we left it. [music] The letter two can have tomorrow. [music] No one needs an answer yet.

34:30Some days [music] work a little better when they aren't [singing] worked out at all. Things can happen as they [music] happen. We don't need [singing] to know ahead. [music] Take the easier way for once.

34:51see where the hours go. If we [music] change our minds halfway, that works just [music] as well. Back again with nothing finished. Still, the day [music] went pretty well.

35:13Leave the button for [music] tomorrow. That's all [singing] right. for now. [music]

35:38Lunch is done. The plates are stacked. There's still [singing] bread enough for later. [music] A book is open, face down nearby. Someone left their [singing] glasses there. No one seems in any hurry

36:01to get up and [music and singing] clear it all. A quiet song plays [music and singing] from somewhere low enough to talk above. [singing] We [music] say less as minutes pass. Not because [music] there's [singing] nothing left. Sometimes company [music]

36:24works just fine without filling every space. [singing] Nothing more [music] needs adding here. We have plenty [singing] as it is. Leave the [music] plates another [singing] minute.

36:44Let the music carry on. [music] If the day stay just like [music] this, I don't think I' [singing] mind at all. Someone reaches [music] for the bread, breaks a piece, and passes half. Glasses

37:09go back [music] where they [singing] belong. The book remains exactly there. Another song [music] begins much [singing] slower. No one moves to change it. Soon [singing] enough, we'll [music] clean things up. Put the plates where

37:31[singing] they belong for the moment. Nothing suffers if we stay [singing] a [music] bit more still. There's a kind of easy comfort in not needing [singing] anything else. Nothing [music] more

37:53needs adding here. We have plenty [music and singing] as it is. Leave the plates another [music] minute. Let the music carry [singing] on. If the days stay just [music] like this, I don't

38:15think [singing] I'd mind at all. [music] At last, we rise and gather things. Everything [music] gets put [singing] away. The room returns to how it [music] was. And that feels

38:36fine as well. [music] [music]

38:55[music] >> [music] >> The same old song [singing] comes on again. [music] Halfway through we know the tune. A cup is set beside the books.

39:17[music] Keys are resting near [singing] the wall. Nothing here has changed too much [music] since the last we looked [singing] around. [music] There's a mark beside the handle, a scratch beneath the wooden frame. [music]

39:40Things get worn [singing] when they get [music] used. That's probably why we keep them. New is nice, but some old [singing] things already know [music] where they belong. Keep what works and let it stay. There's

40:01[music] comfort in the usual [singing] ways. Knowing where to reach without looking [music] twice or thinking first. Some things earn [singing] their place so slowly we forget [music] they ever

40:22did. A song ends, another starts. This [music] one too we've [singing] heard before. Someone knows the second verse [music] and quietly [singing] follows along.

40:43No one says a [music] word about it. Still we both [singing] know every part. [music] Outside changes week by week. Inside [singing] mostly [music] stays the same. A different co. A different season. [singing] Same [music]

41:05old keys beside the wall. There are worse ways [music] to spend [singing] an ordinary afternoon. Keep [music] what works and let it stay. There's comfort in the usual [music and singing]

41:25ways. Knowing where to reach without looking [music] twice or thinking first. Some things earn their [singing and music] place so slowly we forget they ever did.

41:47The song is done. We gather up everything we brought along. Tomorrow [singing] maybe [music] we'll be back and know exactly where to go.

42:08>> [music] [music] [music]

42:29>> A few coins stay in [music] a pocket. A folded note is there [singing] as well. [music] We forgot what it was for so it can stay [singing] another week. The whole day has [singing] very [music] little

42:50written down for us to do. Someone mentions [music] going somewhere, then forgets to say exactly where. [music] That sounds fine. We grab our things and leave before we change our [music and singing] minds.

43:10At the first turn, we choose left, mostly [music] because [singing] it's closer. No need keeping track [singing] of everything. Some days work [music] without a list. Go a little further [singing] than planned. [music] Come back when it

43:32feels right. What [singing and music] we miss. Can't wait till later. There's always another chance. A small arcade has three old games. [singing] One still [music] works and two do not.

43:55We spend a coin and lose too quickly. [singing] Try once more with [music] much the same result. Still we laugh more [singing and music] than expected. So the money did its job. Outside [music] again [singing] we change direction. There's no reason [music] not to now.

44:18[singing] One more step becomes another. Soon [singing] we're farther than we [music] thought. Nothing waiting needs [singing] us badly. So we [music] take our own sweet pace. No [singing] need keeping track of

44:38[music] everything. Some days work without a list. Go [singing] a little further [music] than planned. Come back when it feels right. What [music] we miss can wait till [singing] later. There's always another chance.

45:00[music] By the end, the notes still [music] folded. Coins are nearly [singing] all gone now. [music] Whatever we forgot this morning can remain forgotten

45:20today. [music] [music] The box opens [music] on the first try.

45:42For once, nothing seems to stick. [music] Everything is where we left it. Even the thing we came to find. Take [music] it out and close the lid. That was easier than expected. [music] A small repair [singing] needs

46:03only tape. No searching for another tool. One [music] clean [singing] fold and two short pieces hold it better than before. We were [singing] ready for [music] a problem. There was hardly one at all. Some

46:23[music] things work without a struggle. Let them be [singing] when they do. No need adding extra [music] trouble to a job that's [singing] nearly through. Take [music] the easy answer. Sometimes it may be the

46:44[music] proper one. >> [music] >> Missing screw is in the drawer right beside [music and singing] the things we need. Even that feels almost lucky. [music]

47:05Usually [singing] they're never there. Put it [music] in and turn it twice. Everything sits straight again. Step away and [music] check our work. Nothing wobbles, nothing moves for a job

47:25we kept avoiding that was hardly worth [music and singing] the worry. Put the tape and tools away before we lose them once again. Some things work [music] without a struggle. Let them be [singing] when they do. No need adding [music]

47:48extra trouble to a job that's nearly through. [music] Take the easy [singing] answer. Sometimes it may be [music] the proper one. Close the drawer and clear the floor.

48:10Everything is [singing] back in place. [music] Nice when something goes this simply. We'll take that for today. [music]

48:31[music] >> [music] >> The weather changed before we noticed.

48:55Now the air feels easier outside. A [music] few clouds move above the roofs. Slow [singing] enough to watch a while. No one [music] planned to stay out long. Still no one turns back [music] yet.

49:16We pass a garden near the [singing] wall. Something small [music] is growing there. A dog sleeps beside a gate. [singing] Doesn't move when people pass. Everything [music] seems fairly settled for this part [singing] of the day.

49:38Some afternoons [music] ask very [singing] little, just a place to wander through. Nothing [music] grand needs to happen. Nothing special [singing] needs a name. Keep [music] on going till we're ready. [singing] and we'll find our way back. [music]

50:05[music] There's a bench, but we keep walking. Neither [music and singing] one feels tired yet. A bicycle moves past slowly. [singing] Then the path is clear again. >> [music]

50:25>> We talk about a dozen things, none of them very important. By the [music] time we start returning, the air has cooled [singing] a little more. One [music] more more block feels [singing] easy enough. So we take the

50:46longer way. [music] No great story [singing] for the evening. Still it turned out rather well. [music and singing] Some afternoons ask very little, just a place to wander through. [music] Nothing grand [singing] needs to happen.

51:06Nothing special needs [music] a name. Keep on going till we're [singing] ready [music] and we'll find our way back. >> [music] >> Back inside. Our shoes come off. The

51:27quiet follows [singing] through the room. That was all the day required. More than enough for me. [music] [music]

51:52After lunch, the clouds [music] pull back. Walls look warmer than before. [music] Glass catches a brighter shade along [music] the edge of every frame. Someone moves a curtain halfway, then [music] decides to leave it there. Dust we

52:14missed is easy to see. [singing] Maybe [music] that's the price we pay. Wipe one shelf and leave [singing] the others. This was never cleaning [music] day. Still the room looks [singing] somehow fresher from a change we didn't make.

52:34[music] Some afternoons turn themselves around [singing] without [music] asking anything from us. One clear patch across the floor can change the whole [music and singing] place for a while. No need chasing after it. It comes and [singing] goes the way

52:54it likes. [music] A glass bottle near the [singing] wall throws a shape across the floor. Move it [music] once, the shape moves too. That becomes a minute's game. Then we [music] put the bottle back exactly where it

53:15[singing] started from. Later, clouds return again. Everything [music] grows softer. Now [singing] the warm patch leaves the floor. No one really saw it go. [music] Still the room feels changed somehow. [singing]

53:36Maybe [music] only in our heads. Some [music] afternoons turn themselves around [singing] without asking [music] anything from us. One clear patch across the floor can change the [music and singing] whole place for a while. No need chasing after

53:59it. It [music] comes and [singing] goes the way it likes. Curtain stays half open still. No [music] reason to adjust it now. >> [music] >> Whatever [singing] comes across the room

54:21can find its own way. [music]

54:52>> [music] [music] >> A few things wait beside the door. None of them need [singing] doing yet.

55:14The clock moves on without much notice. Pages [music] turn and glasses fill from somewhere near. [singing] A soft tune [music] passes then disappears behind the room. There was more we meant to finish. [music] Maybe later, [singing]

55:35maybe not. One small job can stay [music] till Monday. Another [singing] one can wait as well. >> [music] >> For an hour, nothing matters more than being [singing] where we are. Let the afternoon [music] move slowly. Leave some space between

55:58the plans. We have [singing] nowhere else to [music] hurry. Nothing pulling at our hands. Stay a while and [music] keep things simple. That's enough

56:18for now. [music] A book lies open near the middle. Half a chapter [music] still [singing] unread. Someone turns a page [music] behind me. Someone else gets up to leave.

56:39Everything [music] keeps moving softly without [singing] asking us to follow. Later on, we'll gather things, find our coats, and head outside. [singing] Until then, [music] there's no good reason to be thinking past this hour.

57:03Another [music] page, [singing] another minute. Both can take as long as needed. Let the afternoon move [music] slowly. Leave some space between the plans. We have nowhere [singing] else to hurry. Nothing [music] pulling at our hands. Stay a while

57:26and keep things simple. That's enough [music] for now. [singing] [music] Soon enough, we'll be on our [singing] way for the moment we can [music] stay.

57:47Leave the rest [singing] where we found it. It will keep another day. >> [music]

58:11>> Dinner ended [music] quite a while ago. One last plate [music] still needs [singing] a rinse. No one moves to do it yet. It [music] isn't going [singing] anywhere. A low song plays behind us, soft enough to nearly miss. [music] We talk about a

58:34film we saw. Neither one remembers [music and singing] the end. One recalls a certain scene. The other says that never happened. After [music] trying [singing] for a minute, we decide we're both unsure. Let [music] the evening take its own

58:56shape. There's [singing] no schedule left to keep. Talk a while, then lose the subject. Find another somewhere else. [singing] When the words [music] begin to slow down, let them slow down, [music] too.

59:26Someone finally takes [music] the plate. Water runs and then it's done. [singing] The song [music] changes without notice. This one sounds a little older. No one knows [music] the singer's name, so we just keep listen. [music]

59:47The story starts about [singing] last summer, then gets lost halfway through. Doesn't matter where it ended. We were [music] mostly [singing] talking anyway. Soon the room gets quieter without anyone [music] deciding. So

1:00:09let the evening [music] take its own shape. There's no schedule [singing] left to keep. Talk a while, then lose the subject. Find another somewhere else. When the words [music] begin to slow down, let them slow [music] down, too.

1:00:32Glasses empty, [singing] [music] music lower. There's not much left to [singing] say. [music] That's all right. We stay a minute and get up and call it a day.

1:00:54[music] [music] [music]

1:01:15>> [music] >> A sleeve gets caught along the handle. You reach [singing and music] over, set it free. Then you notice one small mark and [music] brush it off without a word.

1:01:37Simple things [music] go by unnoticed. Most of them are better soul. [music] Later there's a heavier back. You [music] take one [singing] side, I take the other. Neither asks who should carry. [music and singing]

1:01:57We just lift and keep on going at the stairs. We change our hands [music] then keep moving [singing] up again. Care can look like [music] almost [singing] nothing. Small enough to miss sometimes. [music]

1:02:18Holding [singing] something for a second. [music] Making room without being asked. No big words [singing] are really needed. Most days [music] they'd be too much. [music] A loose scarf slips behind you.

1:02:39I catch [singing] the end before it falls. [music] [music] You look back and give a smile. Then we're talking [singing] about the day. [music] By the next few steps, we've both

1:03:02forgotten why we [music] stopped it all. [singing] There are things we never mention. [music] Because [singing] they happen all the time, passing [music] things across the room. Saving half without [singing] a question. [music]

1:03:23Maybe that's what makes them matter. They don't ask [music] to be remembered. Care can look [music] like almost nothing. Small [singing] enough to miss sometimes. Holding [music] something for a second. Making room

1:03:45without being [singing] asked. No big [music] words are really needed. Most days they'd be too much. [music] At the end we take our things, check [music] the floor and look around.

1:04:07Nothing lost and nothing [music] missing. Off we go the way [singing] we came. [music] >> [music]

1:04:28>> A stripe bag falls [music] from the shelf. Three old cards come out behind it. [music] One has writing [singing] on the back. Another only has a date. [music] The third one makes us laugh before [singing] we even read a word.

1:04:50There's a [music] picture taken [singing] badly. How the face is out of frame. Someone [music] wrote a joke [singing] beneath it. Still not funny, but we laugh. Maybe because we know [music] exactly who would write a thing like

1:05:12that. [music] Some old things get better somehow. [singing] Not because [music] they age so well. Maybe [singing] we just change around them until [music] they mean something else. Keep the [singing] funny parts together.

1:05:33Those [music] are worth a second look. [music] Another card [singing] has someone's number. Probably useless [music] by now. Still, we don't [singing] throw it away. [music] Back. It goes into the pile.

1:05:55There [music] are things we keep for [singing] reasons no one needs to understand. The strike bag [music] gets [singing] filled again. Cards go in and string goes too. Before it [music and singing] closes, we read the joke one more time for no good

1:06:17reason. Still not clever. [music] Still it works. Maybe that's enough for us. Some old things get better [music] somehow. [singing] Not because they age so well. [music] Maybe we just change around

1:06:38[singing] them till they mean something else. Keep the [music] funny [singing] parts together. Those are worth a second look. [music]

1:07:00>> [music] >> Back goes back [music] above the shelf. Everything is safe inside. Next [music] time it falls down [singing] again, we'll probably do the same.

1:07:25>> [music] [music] >> Curtains move a little inward.

1:07:45Air comes [music] through [singing] the narrow gap. A book rests across my knees. I've been [music] reading the same page twice from outside. [music] A bicycle bell passes once, then fades away.

1:08:08The room feels [singing] almost empty, [music] though everything is still in place. A glass of water [singing and music] near the books. leaves a ring upon [singing] the wood. [music] Wipe it once and turn the page.

1:08:28This time I [singing] make it through. [music] Keep the room as quiet as it is. [singing] Nothing needs [music] to fill the space. Let the sounds come when they come [singing] and disappear when they are

1:08:48done. [music] There are hours [singing] made for doing and [music] some made for hardly anything. [music] A car passes far below. Then the [music and singing] building

1:09:09goes still again. One soft page turns beneath my hand [music and singing] and settles flat. No [music] one calls and nothing rings for once. That suits me [music] well.

1:09:30The air changes [singing] as it gets later. Curtains barely move at all. [music and singing] Close the book without a marker. I'll remember [singing and music] where I was. Maybe not, but that's a problem for

1:09:52[music and singing] another reading day. Keep the room as quiet [singing] as it is. [music] Nothing needs to fill the space. Let the sounds come [singing] when they come and disappear [music] when they are done.

1:10:14There are hours [singing] made for [music] doing and some made for hardly [music and singing] anything. Set the glass beside the sink. Leave [music] the book where it has been.

1:10:35Nothing [music] more to finish here. The room can [music] stay this way. [music]

1:10:56[music] >> [music] [music] >> A button waits [music] to be sewn back.

1:11:19A letter [singing] needs a simple reply. Neither one feels [music] very urgent, so they stay beside the books. Someone asks what [music] comes next. No one has a proper answer.

1:11:40[music] We could go and find some lunch or [singing] take a walk around [music] the block. Either sounds about as good. No need making much of [music] it. Pick away when we get there. Change

1:12:00[singing] it later if we like. [music] Things can happen as they happen. We don't need to know ahead. [music] Take the [singing] easy way for once. See where the hours [music] go.

1:12:22If we change our minds halfway, that [music] works just as well. [music] We head out without [music] deciding

1:12:44left or right [singing] until the turn. The small [music] place looks fairly [singing] quiet, so we stop and wander [music] in. Nothing [singing] planned, but here we are. Seems to [music] work most every time.

1:13:05Later [singing] on, the [music] button waits exactly where [singing] we left it. The letter two [music] can have [singing] tomorrow. No one needs an answer yet. Some days work [music] a little [singing] better when they

1:13:27aren't worked out at all. Things can happen [music] as they happen. We don't [singing] need to know ahead. [music] Take the easier way for once. see where the [music] hours go.

1:13:48If we change [music] our minds halfway, [singing] that works just as [music] well. Back again with nothing finished. [snorts] [music] Still, the day went pretty well. Leave the button for [music] tomorrow.

1:14:09That's all right. for now. [music] [music]

1:14:31Lunch is done. The plates are [music] stacked. There's still bread [singing] enough for later. A book is [music] open, face down nearby. Someone left their glasses [music] there. No one seems in any hurry [music]

1:14:53to get up and clear [singing] it all. A quiet song plays [music] from somewhere low enough to talk above. We [music] say less as minutes pass. Not because [singing] [music] there's nothing left. Sometimes

1:15:16company works just fine without filling every [music] space. Nothing more needs adding here. We have plenty [singing] as it is. [music] Leave the plates another minute.

1:15:37Let [music] the music [singing] carry on. If the day [music] stay just like this, I don't think I' mind at all. Someone reaches [music] for the bread, breaks a piece, and

1:15:58passes half. Glasses go [music and singing] back where they belong. The book remains exactly there. Another [music] song begins much slower. No one [music] moves to change it. Soon

1:16:18enough, we'll [singing and music] clean things up. Put the plates where they belong for [music and singing] the moment. Nothing suffers if we stay a bit more still. [music and singing] There's a kind of easy comfort

1:16:40in not needing anything else. Nothing more needs [singing and music] adding here. We have plenty as it is. Leave the plates another [music] minute. Let the music [singing] carry on. If the days [music]

1:17:04stay just like this, I don't [singing] think I'd mind at all. [music] At last, we rise and gather things. [music] Everything gets put away. [singing] The room returns [music] to how it was.

1:17:26And that [singing] feels fine as well. [music] [music]

1:17:46[music] The same old song comes on [singing and music] again. Halfway through we know the tune. A cup is set

1:18:07beside the books. Keys [singing] are resting near the wall. Nothing here has changed [music] too much since the last we looked [singing] around. [music] There's a mark beside the handle, a scratch beneath [singing] the wooden

1:18:28frame. Things get worn when [singing] they get used. That's probably why we keep [music] them. New is nice, but some old things already know where [singing] they belong. [music]

1:18:49Keep what works and let it stay. There's comfort [singing] in the [music] usual ways. Knowing where [singing] to reach without looking twice [music] or thinking first. Some things earn [music] their place so slowly [singing] we

1:19:12forget they ever did. [music] A song ends, another starts. [singing and music] This one too we've heard before. Someone knows [music] the second [singing] verse and quietly follows

1:19:33along. [music] No one says a word about it. Still [music] we [singing] both know every part. Outside changes week [singing] by week. [music] Inside mostly stays the same. A different [music] co. A different season. Same old keys

1:19:57[music and singing] beside the wall. There are worse ways to spend an [singing] ordinary [music] afternoon. Keep what works and let it stay. [music] There's comfort in the [singing] usual ways.

1:20:18Knowing where to reach without looking [music] twice or [singing] thinking first. Some things earn their place so slowly we forget they ever did.

1:20:40The song is done. We gather up everything we [singing] brought along. Tomorrow maybe [music] we'll be back and know exactly where to go.

1:21:00>> [music] [music] [music]

1:21:21>> A few coins stay in a [music] pocket. A folded note [singing] is there as well. [music] We forgot what [singing] it was for so it can stay another week. [music] The whole day has very little

1:21:42[music] written down for us to do. Someone mentions [music] going somewhere, then forgets to say exactly where. [music] That sounds fine. We grab our [singing] things and leave before we change our [music] minds.

1:22:02At the first turn, we choose left, mostly because [music and singing] it's closer. No need [music] keeping track of everything. Some days [singing] work without a list. [music] Go a little further than planned. Come back when

1:22:23[singing] it [music] feels right. What we miss. Can't wait till later. There's [singing] always another [music] chance. A small arcade [singing] has three old games. One [music] still works and two

1:22:45do not. We spend a coin and lose [singing] too quickly. Try once more with much [music] the same result. Still we laugh more than [singing] expected. [music] So the money did its job. Outside again we change

1:23:05[singing and music] direction. There's no reason not to now. One more stop becomes another. [music and singing] Soon we're farther than we thought. Nothing [singing] waiting needs us badly. [music] So we take our own sweet pace.

1:23:28No [music] need keeping track of everything. Some days [singing] work without a list. Go a little further [music] than planned. Come back when it feels [singing] right. What we miss [music] can wait till later. There's always

1:23:50another chance. [music] By the end, the notes still folded. Coins are [singing] nearly all gone now. Whatever [music] we forgot this morning can remain

1:24:11forgotten today. [music] [music] [music] The box opens [music]

1:24:32on the first try. For once, nothing seems to stick. Everything [music] is where we left it. Even the [singing] thing we came to find. [music] Take it out and close the lid. That was [singing] easier than expected.

1:24:53A small [music] repair needs only tape. No searching for another [singing] tool. [music] One clean fold and two short pieces hold it [singing] better than before. We were ready [music] for a problem. There was hardly one [singing] at all.

1:25:15Some things work without a struggle. Let them be when [singing and music] they do. No need adding extra trouble to a job [music and singing] that's nearly through. Take the easy answer. Sometimes it may [music and singing] be the proper

1:25:37one. [music] Missing screw [music] is in the drawer right beside the things we need. Even that feels almost [music] lucky.

1:25:57Usually they're never there. Put it in and turn it twice. [music] Everything sits straight again. Step away and check our work. Nothing [singing] wobbles, nothing moves. For a job we kept [music] avoiding

1:26:20that was hardly worth the [singing] worry. Put the [music] tape and tools away before we lose them once again. Some things work [music and singing] without a struggle. Let them be when [singing] they do. [music] No need adding extra trouble to

1:26:43a job that's nearly through. Take the easy [music and singing] answer. Sometimes it may be [music] the proper one. Close the drawer and clear the floor. Everything is [singing] back in [music]

1:27:05place. Nice when something goes this simply. [music] We'll take that for today. [music]

1:27:29[music] >> [music] >> The weather changed before we noticed. [singing] Now the air feels easier outside. A few

1:27:52[music] clouds move above [singing] the roofs. Slow enough to watch a while. [music] No one planned [singing] to stay out long. Still no [music] one turns back yet. We pass a garden near [singing] the wall. Something small is growing there.

1:28:15[music] A dog sleeps beside a gate. [singing] Doesn't move when people pass. Everything [music] seems fairly settled for this part of [singing] the day. Some afternoons [music] ask very little, just a place to wander through.

1:28:38Nothing grand needs to happen. [music] Nothing special [singing] needs a name. Keep on [music] going till we're ready. Then we'll find our [singing] way back. [music]

1:29:01There's a bench, but we keep walking. Neither one feels [music] tired yet. A bicycle moves past slowly. [singing and music] Then the path is clear again. We talk about a dozen [music] things, none of them very important.

1:29:25By the time we start [singing and music] returning, the air has cooled a little more. [music] One more more block feels easy enough. So we take [music and singing] the longer way. No great story for the evening. Still it [music] turned out rather well.

1:29:48Some afternoons ask [singing] very little, [music] just a place to wander through. Nothing [singing] grand needs to happen. Nothing special needs [music] a name. Keep on [singing] going till we're ready [music] and we'll find our way back.

1:30:12>> [music] >> Back inside, our shoes [music] come off. The quiet follows through the room. That was all [singing] the day required. More than enough for me.

1:30:35[music] After lunch, the clouds [music] pull back. Walls look warmer than before. [music] Glass catches a brighter shade along the

1:30:58edge of [music] every frame. Someone [singing] moves a curtain halfway then decides to leave it there. Dust we missed is easy to see. [music] [singing] Maybe that's the price we pay. Wipe [music] one shelf and leave the others.

1:31:18This was [singing] never cleaning day. Still the room looks somehow [music] fresher from a change we didn't make. Some afternoons turn themselves [singing and music] around without asking anything from us. One [music] clear patch across the floor

1:31:39can change the whole place for a while. No need chasing after it. It comes and goes [music and singing] the way it likes. >> [music] >> A glass bottle near the wall [singing] throws a shape across the floor. Move it once, the shape moves too. [music] That

1:32:00becomes a minute's [singing] game. Then we put the bottle back exactly [music] where it started [singing] from. Later, clouds [singing] return again. Everything grows softer. >> [music] >> Now the warm patch leaves the floor. No

1:32:21one really saw it [music] go till the room feels changed somehow. Maybe only in [singing] our heads. Some afternoons [music] turn themselves [singing] around without asking

1:32:41anything from us. [music] One clear patch across the floor [singing] can change the whole place for a while. No need chasing after it. [music] It comes and goes the way it likes. [music] Curtain stays half open [music] still.

1:33:05No [singing] reason to adjust it now. Whatever [music and singing] comes across the room can find its own way.

1:33:28[music] [music] >> [music] [music]

1:33:53[music] >> A few things wait [music] beside the door. None of them need doing yet. The clock [music] moves on without much notice. Pages turn and glasses fill

1:34:14from somewhere near. [singing] A soft tune [music] passes then disappears behind the room. [music] There was more we meant to finish. Maybe later, [singing] maybe not. One small job [music] can stay till Monday. [singing] Another one can wait as well.

1:34:37For an hour, nothing [music] matters more than [singing] being where we are. Let the afternoon move slowly. [music] Leave some space between the plans. We have nowhere [singing] else to hurry. [music] Nothing pulling at our hands.

1:34:59Stay a while [music] and keep things simple. That's enough for now. [music] A book lies open [singing] near the middle. Half a chapter [music]

1:35:21still unread. Someone turns [singing] a page behind me. Someone else gets [music] up to leave. Everything [singing] keeps moving softly [music] without asking us to follow. Later on, we'll gather [singing] things,

1:35:42find our coats, [music] and head outside. Until then, there's no good reason [singing] to be thinking past this hour. Another [singing] page, another [music] minute. Both can take as long as needed. Let the afternoon move slowly. Leave

1:36:04[singing and music] some space between the plans. We have nowhere [singing] else to hurry. Nothing pulling at our hands. [music] Stay a while and keep things simple. That's [music] enough

1:36:26for now. Soon enough, we'll be on our way for [music] the moment [singing] we can stay. Leave the rest where we found it. It will keep [music and singing] another day.

1:36:53>> [music] [music] >> Dinner ended [music] quite a while ago. One last plate still needs [singing] a rinse.

1:37:13No one moves to do it yet. It isn't going [singing] anywhere. A low song plays [music] behind us, soft enough to nearly miss. We talk about [music] a film we saw. Neither one remembers the end. [music] One recalls a certain scene.

1:37:35The other says that never happened. After [music] trying for [singing] a minute, we decide we're both unsure. Let the [music and singing] evening take its own shape. There's no schedule left to keep. Talk a while, then lose the subject. [music] Find another [singing]

1:37:55somewhere else. When the words begin to slow down, let them [music] slow down, too. [music]

1:38:17>> [music] >> Someone [singing] finally takes the plate. Water runs and then it's done. The song [music and singing] changes without notice. This one sounds a little older. [music] No one knows the singer's name, so we just keep [music] listen.

1:38:39The story starts [music] about last summer, [singing] then gets lost halfway through. Doesn't matter where it ended. [music] We were mostly talking anyway. [singing] Soon the room gets quieter without anyone [music] deciding. So

1:39:01let the evening [music] take its own shape. There's no [singing] schedule left to keep. Talk a while, then lose the subject. Find another [singing] somewhere else. When the [music] words begin to slow down, let them slow [music] down, too.

1:39:24Glasses empty, [singing] music [music] lower. There's not much left to say. [music] That's all right. We stay a minute and get up and call it a [singing] day.

1:39:51[music] [music]

1:40:12>> [music] >> A sleeve gets caught along the handle. [music] You reach over, [singing] set it free. Then you notice one [music] small mark and brush it off without a [singing] word. Simple things go by [music] unnoticed.

1:40:33Most of them [singing] are better sold. Later there's [music] a heavier bag. You take one side, I take the other. [music] Neither asks who should carry. We just lift and keep on [singing] going at the stairs. We change

1:40:55[music] our hands then keep moving up again. Care can [music and singing] look like almost nothing. Small enough [music] to miss sometimes. Holding something for a second. Making room [music and singing] without being

1:41:15asked. No big [singing] words are really needed. Most days [music] they'd be too much. A loose scarf slips behind [music] you. I catch the end before it falls.

1:41:36[music] You look [music] back and give a smile. Then we're talking about [singing] the day. By the next few [music] steps, we've both forgotten why we stopped [singing]

1:41:57it all. [music] There are things we never mention because they [singing] happen all the time. Passing [music] things across the room. Saving half without [singing] a question. [music] Maybe that's what makes them matter.

1:42:19They don't ask to be remembered. [music] Care can [singing] look like almost nothing. [music] Small enough to miss sometimes. Holding [music] something for a second. Making room without being asked.

1:42:41[music] No [singing] big words are really needed. Most days they'd be too much. At the end we take our things, check the floor and look around. [music] Nothing lost [singing] and nothing

1:43:02missing. Off we go the way we came. [music] >> [music] >> A stripe bag falls from the shelf. Three

1:43:23old [music and singing] cards come out behind it. One has writing on the back. Another only [singing] [music] has a date. The third one makes us laugh before we even [singing] read a word. [music] There's a picture taken badly. [singing]

1:43:47How the face is out of frame. [music] Someone wrote [singing] a joke beneath it. Still not [music] funny, but we laugh. Maybe because [singing] we know exactly [music] who would write a thing like that.

1:44:07Some [music] old things get better somehow. Not [singing] because they age so [music] well. Maybe we just [singing] change around them until they mean something [music] else. Keep the funny [singing] parts together. Those are [music] worth

1:44:27a second look. Another [music and singing] card has someone's number. Probably useless by now. [music] Still, we don't throw it [singing] away. Pack it goes into the pile. [music]

1:44:47There are things we keep for [singing] reasons no one needs [music] to understand. The strike bag gets filled [music and singing] again. Cards go in and string goes too before it closes. [music] We read the joke one more time for no good reason.

1:45:10Still [music and singing] not clever. Still it works. Maybe that's enough for us. Some old things [music] get better somehow. [singing] Not because they age so well. Maybe we just [music] change around them

1:45:30till they mean something else. Keep the funny [music and singing] parts together. Those are worth a second look. >> [music] [music]

1:45:57[music] >> Back goes back above the shelf. Everything is safe inside. Next time it falls down [singing] again, we'll probably [music] do the same.

1:46:21[music] [music] Curtains move. A little inward air comes through [singing] the narrow gap.

1:46:42A [music] book rests across my knees. I've been reading the [music] same page twice from outside. A bicycle bell passes once [music] then fades away. The room feels [singing]

1:47:02almost empty. [music] though everything is still in place. A glass of water near the books leaves a ring [singing] upon the wood. Wipe it [music] once and turn the page. This time I [singing] make it [music] through.

1:47:25Keep the room as quiet as it is. Nothing [singing and music] needs to fill the space. Let the sounds come when they come [music and singing] and disappear when they are done. There are hours [music] made for doing

1:47:47and some made for hardly [singing] anything. A car passes [music] far below. Then the [singing] building goes still again. [music] One soft page turns beneath my hand and

1:48:10[music] settles flat. No one calls [singing] and nothing rings for once. That [music] suits me well. The air changes as it gets later. Curtains [music] barely move at all. Close [singing]

1:48:31the book without a marker. I'll remember [music] where I was. Maybe not, [music] but that's a problem for another [singing] reading day. Keep the room as quiet [singing] as it is. Nothing

1:48:53[music] needs to fill the space. Let the sounds [singing] come when they come and disappear [music] when they [singing] are done. There are hours made [music] for doing and some made for hardly [singing] anything.

1:49:18Set the glass beside the sink. [music] Leave the book where it has been. Nothing more to finish here. The room [music] can stay this way. [music]

1:49:47[music] >> [music] >> A burden waits [music] to be sewn back.

1:50:11A letter needs a simple reply. Neither [music] one feels very urgent, so they stay beside [singing] the books. [music] Someone asks what comes next. No one has [music] a proper answer.

1:50:32We could go [singing] and find some lunch or take a [music] walk around the block. Either sounds about as good. [music] No need making much of it. Pick away when we get there. [singing] Change it later if we like.

1:50:57[music] Things can happen as [singing] they happen. We don't [music] need to know ahead. Take the [music and singing] easy way for once. See where the hours go. If [music] we change our minds halfway, that works just as

1:51:21well. [music] [music] We head out without deciding left [music] or right until the [singing] turn. The small place looks fairly quiet,

1:51:44so we [music] stop and wander in. Nothing [singing] planned, but here [music] we are. Seems to work most every time. [music] Later on, the button waits exactly where [singing] we left it. [music]

1:52:06The letter two can have tomorrow. No one needs an answer yet. Some days [music] work a little better when they aren't [singing] worked out at all. Things can happen [music] as they happen. We don't need to know

1:52:29ahead. Take the [music] easier way for once. see where the hours go. If we [music] change our minds halfway, that works just as well. [music] Back again with nothing finished.

1:52:53Still, the day [music] went pretty well. Leave the button for tomorrow. [music] That's all right. for now. [music] [music]

1:53:17[music] Lunch is done. The plates [music] are stacked. There's still bread, [singing] enough for later. >> [music] >> A book is open, face down nearby. Someone left their glasses there.

1:53:39[music and singing] No one seems in any hurry to get up and [music and singing] clear it all. A quiet song plays from somewhere low enough [singing] to [music] talk above. We say less as minutes pass. Not because

1:54:03[music and singing] there's nothing left. Sometimes company [music] works just fine without filling every space. [singing] Nothing more [music] needs adding here. We have plenty [singing] as it is.

1:54:24Leave the [music] plates another minute. Let the [singing] music carry on. If the day stay just [music] like this, I don't think [singing] I' mind at all. Someone [singing] reaches [music] for

1:54:46the bread, breaks a piece, and passes half. Glasses go back where they [singing and music] belong. The book remains exactly there. Another song [music] begins much slower. No one moves to change it. Soon

1:55:10[singing] enough, we'll [music] clean things up. Put the plates where [singing] they belong for the moment. [music] Nothing suffers if we stay a [music] bit more [singing] still. There's a kind of easy comfort

1:55:32in not needing [singing] anything else. Nothing more needs [music] adding here. We have plenty as it is. [music] Leave the plates another minute. Let the music [music] carry on. If the days

1:55:56stay just [music] like this, I don't think [singing] I'd mind at all. [music] At last, we rise and gather things. Everything [music] gets put away. The room returns to how [music] it was.

1:56:18And that feels fine [music] as well. [music] [music]

1:56:43>> [music] [music] >> The same old song comes on [singing] again. Halfway through we know the tune. [music] A cup is set beside the books. Keys are

1:57:03resting near the wall. [music] Nothing here has changed too much since the last we looked [singing and music] around. There's a mark beside the handle, a scratch beneath the [music and singing] wooden frame.

1:57:24Things get worn [singing] when they get [music] used. That's probably why we keep them. New is [singing] nice, but some old things already know where they belong. Keep what works [music] and let it stay. There's comfort in

1:57:47[singing] the usual ways. Knowing where to reach without looking [music] twice or thinking first. Some [music] things earn their place so slowly [singing] we forget [music] they ever did.

1:58:10A song ends, another [music] starts. This one too we've heard before. Someone knows the second verse and [music and singing] quietly follows along. No one says a word about it. Still we

1:58:32both [singing and music] know every part. Outside changes week by week. Inside [music] mostly stays the same. [singing] A different cup. A different season. Same old [music] keys beside the wall.

1:58:53There are worse ways [music] to spend an ordinary afternoon. [singing] [music] Keep what works and let it stay. There's comfort in the usual [singing and music] ways. Knowing where to reach without looking

1:59:14[singing and music] twice or thinking first. Some things earn [singing] their place so slowly we forget they ever did. [music] The song is done. We gather up

1:59:35everything we brought along. [music] Tomorrow [singing] maybe we'll be back and know exactly where to go. >> [music]

2:00:08[music] >> A few coins stay [music] in a pocket. A folded note is there as well. [music] We forgot what it was for so it can stay another week.

2:00:29[music] The whole day has [singing] very little written down [music] for us to do. Someone mentions going somewhere, then forgets [music] to say exactly where. That sounds fine. We grab [music] our

2:00:49things [singing] and leave before we change our minds. [music] At the first turn, we [singing] choose left, mostly because it's [music] closer. No need keeping track [singing] of everything. Some days [music] work without a list.

2:01:11Go a [singing] little further than planned. Come back [music] when it feels right. What [singing] we miss. [music] Can't wait till later. There's always another chance. A small arcade has [music and singing]

2:01:33three old games. One still works and two do not. We spend a coin and [music and singing] lose too quickly. Try once more with much the same result. [singing and music] Still we laugh more than expected. So the money did its [music] job.

2:01:55Outside again [singing] we change direction. There's no reason [music] not to [singing] now. One more step becomes [music] another. Soon [singing] we're farther than we thought. Nothing waiting needs us badly. So we

2:02:16[music] take our own sweet pace. No need keeping track of everything. [music] Some days [singing] work without a list. Go a little further than planned. Come back when it feels [music] right. [singing]

2:02:36What we miss can wait till [music] later. There's always another chance. [music] By the end, the notes still [music] folded. Coins are nearly [singing] all gone now. [music]

2:02:56Whatever we forgot this morning [singing] can remain forgotten today. [music]

2:03:22The box opens on [music] the first try. For once, [singing] nothing seems to stick. Everything is where we left it. Even the thing we [music] came to find. Take it out and close the lid. That was

2:03:42easier [singing] than expected. A small repair [music] needs only tape. No searching for [singing] another tool. One [music] clean fold in two short pieces. Hold it better [singing] than before. We were ready for a problem.

2:04:04[music] There was hardly [singing] one at all. Some things work without a struggle. Let them be [singing and music] when they do. No need adding extra trouble to a [music] job that's nearly through. Take the [singing] easy answer. Sometimes [music]

2:04:26it may be the proper one. Missing screw [music] is in the drawer right beside the things we need. Even that [singing] feels almost lucky.

2:04:49[music] Usually they're never there. Put it [singing] in and turn [music] it twice. Everything sits straight again. Step away and [music] check our work. Nothing wobbles, [singing] nothing moves. For a job we kept avoiding [music] that

2:05:12was hardly worth [singing] the worry. Put the tape and tools away before we lose them once again. Some things work without a struggle. [music] Let them be [singing] when they do. No need adding extra

2:05:33[music] trouble to a job that's nearly through. Take [music] the easy answer. [singing] Sometimes it may be [music] the proper one. Close the drawer and clear the floor.

2:05:55Everything is back in place. [music] Nice when something goes this simply. We'll take that for today. [music]

2:06:21[music] >> [music] >> The weather changed before we noticed. Now the air feels [singing] easier

2:06:42outside. A [music] few clouds move above the roofs. Slow enough to watch a while. No one [music and singing] planned to stay out long. Still no one turns back [music] yet. We pass a garden near the wall.

2:07:03Something small [music and singing] is growing there. A dog sleeps beside a gate. [singing] Doesn't move when people pass. Everything seems [music] fairly settled for this part [singing] of the day. Some afternoons [music]

2:07:24ask very [singing] little, just a place to wander through. Nothing grand [singing] needs to happen. [music] Nothing special needs a name. Keep on going [music and singing] till we're ready. Then we'll find our way back.

2:07:48>> [music] >> There's a [music] bench, but we keep walking. Neither [singing] one feels tired yet. A [music] bicycle moves past slowly. [singing] Then the path is clear again.

2:08:09[music] We talk about a dozen things, none of them very important. >> [music] >> By the time we start returning, [singing] the air has cooled a little more. [music] One more more block feels [singing] easy enough. So we [music] take the longer

2:08:31way. [singing] No great story for the evening. Still it turned [music] out rather well. [singing] Some afternoons ask very little. Just [music] a place to wander through. Nothing grand [singing] needs to happen. Nothing special needs [music] a name.

2:08:56Keep [singing] on going till we're ready. [music] And we'll find our way back. Back inside. [singing] Our shoes come off. The quiet follows through the room.

2:09:16That was [music] all the [singing] day required. More than enough for me. [music] After lunch, the clouds pull back. Walls

2:09:41look warmer than [music] before. Glass catches [music] a brighter shade along the edge of every frame. Someone moves [music and singing] a curtain halfway, then decides to leave it there. Dust we missed [music] is easy to see. Maybe [singing] that's

2:10:02the price we pay. Wipe one [music] shelf and leave [singing] the others. This was never cleaning day. [music] Still the room [singing] looks somehow fresher from a change we didn't make. [music] Some afternoons turn [singing] themselves around without [music] asking

2:10:25anything from us. One clear [music] patch across the floor can [singing] change the whole place for a while. No need chasing after it. It comes and [singing] goes the way it likes. [music] A glass bottle near the

2:10:46[singing] wall. Throws a shape across the floor. [music] Move it once, the shape moves too. That becomes a minute's game. Then we put the bottle back exactly [music and singing] where it started from. Later, clouds return again. [singing]

2:11:08Everything grows softer now. The warm [music] patch leaves the floor. [singing] No one really saw it go. Still the room [music] feels changed somehow. [singing] Maybe only in our heads. [music] Some afternoons turn themselves

2:11:30around [singing] without asking [music] anything from us. One clear patch across the floor can change the whole place [singing] for a while. No need [music] chasing after it. It comes and [singing] goes the way it likes.

2:11:52[music] Curtain stays [singing] half open still. >> [music] >> No reason to adjust it now. Whatever [music and singing] comes across the room can find its own way. [music]

2:12:23>> [music] [music] [music]

2:12:46[music] >> A few things wait beside the [music] door. None of them need [singing] doing yet. The clock moves on without much notice. Pages [music] turn and glasses fill from somewhere near. [singing] A soft

2:13:08tune [music] passes then disappears behind the room. There was more we meant [music] to finish. Maybe [singing] later, maybe not. One small job can stay [music] till Monday. Another [singing] one can wait as well.

2:13:29For an hour, nothing matters [singing] more than being where we are. Let [singing] the afternoon [music] move slowly. Leave some space between the plans. We have [music and singing] nowhere else to hurry. Nothing pulling

2:13:49at our hands. Stay a while and [music] keep things simple. That's enough for now. >> [music] >> A book lies open [singing]

2:14:10near the middle. Half a [music] chapter still unread. Someone turns [singing] a page [music] behind me. Someone else gets up to leave. Everything keeps moving [music] softly without [singing] asking us to follow.

2:14:31Later on, we'll gather things, find our coats, and head outside. [singing] Until then, [music] there's no good reason to be thinking past this hour. [music] Another page, [singing] another minute. Both can take as long as

2:14:52needed. Let the [music] afternoon move slowly. Leave some space between the plans. We have nowhere [singing] else to hurry. Nothing pulling at our hands. [music] Stay a while and keep things simple.

2:15:15That's [music] enough for now. [music] Soon enough, we'll be on our [singing] way for the moment we can [music] stay. Leave the rest [singing] where we found it.

2:15:36It will keep another day. [music] Dinner ended [music]

2:15:57quite a while ago. One last plate [music] still needs [singing] a rinse. No one moves [music] to do it yet. It isn't going [singing] anywhere. A low song plays behind us soft enough to nearly miss. We talk [music] about a

2:16:18film we saw. Neither [singing] one remembers the end. One recalls a certain scene. The other says that [music] never happened. After trying [singing] for a minute, we decide we're both [music] unsure. Let the evening [singing]

2:16:40take its own shape. There's no schedule left to keep. Talk a while, then lose the subject. Find [music and singing] another somewhere else. When the words begin to slow down, let them [music] slow down, too. [music]

2:17:10Someone finally takes [music] the plate. Water runs [singing] and then it's done. The song changes without notice. This one sounds [singing] a little older. No [music] one knows the singer's name, so we [singing] just keep listening. [music]

2:17:31A story starts about [singing] last summer, then gets lost [music] halfway through. Doesn't matter where it ended. We were [music] mostly talking anyway. Soon the room gets quieter [singing] without anyone deciding. So [music]

2:17:53let the evening take [music] its own shape. There's no schedule left to keep. Talk a while then lose the [music] subject. Find another somewhere else. [singing] When the words [music] begin to slow down, let them slow [music] down, too.

2:18:16Glass is empty, [singing] music lower. [music] There's not much left to say. That's all right. We [music] stay a minute and get up and call it a day.

2:18:37[music] [music] [music]

2:19:05A sleeve gets caught along the handle. [music] You reach [singing] over, set it free. Then you notice one small [singing] mark and [music] brush it off without a word. Simple things [music] go by unnoticed.

2:19:25Most of them are [singing] better soul. Later there's a [music] heavier bag. You take one [singing] side, I take the other. Neither asks who should carry. We [music] just lift and keep on going at the stairs. We change our hands then

2:19:49keep moving up again. [music] Care can look like almost nothing. Small [singing] enough to miss [music] sometimes. Holding something for [singing] a second. [music] Making room without being asked.

2:20:10No big words [singing] are really needed. Most days [music] they'd be too much. The loose [singing] scarf slips behind you. I catch the end before it falls. [music]

2:20:35You look back and [music] give a smile. Then we're talking [singing] about the day. [music] By the next few steps, we've both forgotten why we [music and singing] stopped it all. There are things we never mention. [music]

2:20:55Because [singing] they happen all the time, passing things [music] across the room. Saving half without [singing] a question. Maybe that's what [music] makes them matter. They don't ask to be remembered.

2:21:15[music] Care can look like almost nothing. Small [singing] enough to miss sometimes. [music] Holding something for a second. Making [music] room without being [singing] asked. No big words are really needed. Most

2:21:38days [music] they'd be too [singing] much. At the end we take [music] our things, check the floor and look around. Nothing [music] lost and nothing missing. Off we [singing] go the way we

2:21:58came. [music] >> [music] >> A stripe bag falls [music] from the shelf. Three old cards [singing] come out behind it.

2:22:20One [music] has writing on the back. Another only has a date. [music] The third [singing] one makes us laugh before we even read a [music] word. There's a picture taken [singing] badly. How the [music] face is out of frame.

2:22:43Someone [singing] wrote a joke beneath it. Still not funny, [music] but we laugh. Maybe because we know [singing] exactly who would write a thing like that. Some old things get [music and singing] better somehow. Not because they age so

2:23:04well. [music] Maybe [singing] we just change around until they mean something else. Keep the [music] funny [singing] parts together. Those are worth a second look. Another card [singing] has someone's

2:23:26number. [music] Probably useless by now. Still we don't [singing] throw it away. [music] Pack it goes into the pile. There are things we keep for reasons [music] no one needs to understand.

2:23:47The strike bag [singing] gets filled again. Cards go [music] in and string goes [singing] too before it [music] closes. We read the joke one more time for no good reason. [music and singing] Still not clever. Still it works. Maybe [music] that's enough for us.

2:24:11Some old things get better [music] somehow. Not [singing] because they age so well. [music] Maybe we just change around [singing] them till they mean something else. Keep the [music] funny parts together. [singing] Those are worth a second look.

2:24:34>> [music] [music] >> Back goes [music] back above the shelf. Everything is safe inside.

2:24:58Next [music] time it falls down [singing] again, we'll probably do the same. [music] [music]

2:25:21[music] Curtains move. A little inward, air comes through [music and singing] the narrow gap. A book rests across my [music] knees. I've been reading the same page twice

2:25:42from outside. [music] A bicycle bell passes once, then fades away. [music and singing] The room feels almost empty. though everything is still in [music] place. A glass of water [singing] near the books

2:26:04leaves a ring upon the wood. [music] Wipe it once and turn the page. This time I [singing] make [music] it through. Keep the room as quiet as it is. [singing] Nothing needs to [music] fill the space.

2:26:26Let the sounds come when they [singing] come and disappear [music] when they are done. There are hours [singing] made [music] for doing and some made for hardly [singing] anything.

2:26:47[music] A car passes far below. Then the [music] building [singing] goes still again. One soft page turns beneath my hand and [music] settles flat. No one calls and nothing [music]

2:27:08rings for once. That suits me well. The air changes [music] [singing] as it gets later. Curtains barely move [music] at all. Close the book without [singing] a marker. I'll remember where I was.

2:27:32Maybe [music and singing] not, but that's a problem for another [singing] reading day. [music] Keep the room as quiet as it is. Nothing needs [music] to fill the space. Let the sounds come when they [music]

2:27:52come [singing] and disappear when they are done. There are hours [singing] made for doing [music] and some made for hardly [singing] anything. Set the glass beside the sink.

2:28:14Leave [music] the book [singing] where it has been. Nothing more to finish here. The room can [music] stay this way. [music]

2:28:37[music] >> [music] [music]

2:28:58>> A button waits to be [music] sewn back. A letter needs a simple reply. Neither one [singing] feels [music] very urgent, so they stay beside the books. [music] Someone asks what comes next.

2:29:20No one has a [music] proper answer. We could go and find some lunch or take a [music] walk around the block. Either sounds about as good. No need [music] making much of it.

2:29:41Pick away when we get there. [music] Change [singing] it later if we like. Things can happen [music] as they happen. We don't need to know ahead. Take the easy [music] way for once. See

2:30:02where the hours [music] go. If we change our minds halfway, that [music] works just as well. [music]

2:30:24We head out without [music] deciding left or [singing] right until the turn. A small [music] place [singing] looks fairly quiet, so we stop and wander in. Nothing planned, but here we [music and singing] are.

2:30:45Seems to work most every time. Later on, the [music] button waits exactly where [singing] we left it. The letter [music] two can have tomorrow. No one needs an answer yet.

2:31:07Some days work [music] a little [singing] better when they aren't worked out at all. Things can happen [music] as they happen. We don't [singing] need to know ahead. Take the easier way for once. see

2:31:28[music] where the hours go. If we change [music] our minds halfway, that works just as well. [music] Back again with nothing finished. Still, the day went pretty well.

2:31:49[music] Leave the button for tomorrow. That's all right. for now. [music] [music]

2:32:15Lunch is done. [music] The plates are stacked. There's still [singing] bread enough for later. A book is [music] open, face down nearby. Someone left their [singing] glasses there. [music] No one seems in any hurry

2:32:37to get up and clear [singing] it all. A [music] quiet song plays from somewhere low enough [singing] to [music] talk above. We say less as minutes pass. [music] Not because [singing] there's nothing

2:32:57left. Sometimes company [music] works just fine without filling every space. [music] Nothing more needs adding here. We have [singing] plenty [music] as it is. Leave the plates another minute.

2:33:21Let the music [singing] carry [music] on. If the day stay just [singing] like [music] this, I don't think I' mind at all. Someone reaches [music] for the bread, breaks a piece, and

2:33:42passes half. Glasses go [music] back where [singing] they belong. The book remains [music] exactly there. Another song begins [music] much slower. No one moves to change it. Soon enough,

2:34:03[singing] we'll [music] clean things up. Put the plates where they belong for [music and singing] the moment. Nothing suffers if we stay [singing] a bit more still. There's a kind of easy comfort [music]

2:34:24in not needing [singing] anything else. Nothing more [music] needs adding [singing] here. We have plenty [music] as it is. Leave the plates another minute. Let the music [music] carry on. [singing]

2:34:46If the days stay just like [music and singing] this, I don't think I'd mind at all. At last, we rise and [music] gather [singing] things. Everything gets put away. The room

2:35:06returns to how it was. [music] And that feels fine as well. [music] [music]

2:35:31[music] >> [music] >> The same old song comes [singing] on again. [music] Halfway through we know the tune. A cup is set beside the books. Keys are

2:35:55resting [singing and music] near the wall. Nothing here has changed [music] too much since the last we looked [singing] around. There's a [music] mark beside the handle, a scratch beneath the wooden frame. [music]

2:36:16Things get worn [singing] when they get used. [music] That's probably why we keep them. New is nice, but some old things [music and singing] already know where they belong. Keep what works [music] and let it

2:36:36[singing] stay. There's comfort in the usual ways. Knowing where [singing] to reach without looking twice [music] or thinking first. Some things earn [music] their place so slowly [singing] we forget they ever did. [music]

2:37:02A song ends, another starts. This one [music] too we've heard before. Someone knows the second verse and quietly follows along. [music] No one says a word about it. Still

2:37:23[music] we [singing] both know every part. Outside changes week by week. [music] Inside mostly [singing] stays the same. A different coat. A different season. [music and singing] Same old keys beside the wall.

2:37:45There are [music] worse ways to spend an [singing] ordinary afternoon. [music] Keep what works and let it stay. There's comfort in the [music] usual [singing] ways. Knowing where to reach without looking

2:38:07twice [music] or thinking first. Some things [singing] earn [music] their place so slowly we forget [music] they ever did. The song is done. We gather up

2:38:27everything [singing] we brought along. Tomorrow maybe [singing] we'll [music] be back and know exactly where to go. >> [music]

2:38:54[music] [music] >> A few coins stay in a pocket. [music] A folded note [singing] is there as well. We forgot [music] what it was for so it

2:39:17can stay [singing] another week. [music] The whole day [singing] has very little [music] written down for us to do. Someone mentions [music] going somewhere, then forgets to say exactly where. [music]

2:39:38That sounds fine. We grab our [singing] things and leave before we change our minds. [music] At the first turn, [singing] we choose left, mostly because [music] it's closer. No need [music] keeping track of everything. Some days [singing] work

2:40:01without a list. [music] Go a little further than [singing] planned. Come back when it feels right. What we [singing] miss. Can't wait till [music] later. There's always another chance.

2:40:22[music] A small arcade has three [singing] old games. One still works [music] and two do not. We spend a coin and lose too quickly. Try once more with [music] much the [singing] same result. Still we laugh more than [music] expected.

2:40:43So the money [singing] did its job. [music] Outside again we change direction. There's [singing] no reason not to now. [music] One more step becomes another. [singing] Soon we're farther than we thought. [music]

2:41:04Nothing [singing] waiting needs us badly. So we take our own [music] sweet pace. No need keeping [music] track of everything. Some days [singing] work without a list. Go a little [music] further than planned. Come back when it feels

2:41:26[singing] right. What we [music] miss can wait till later. There's always another [music] chance. By the end, the notes [music] still folded. Coins are [singing] nearly all gone now.

2:41:48Whatever [music] we forgot this morning [singing] can remain [music] forgotten today. [music]

2:42:09[music] The box opens [music] on the first try. For once, nothing seems to stick. Everything is where we left it. [music] Even the thing we came to find.

2:42:30Take it out and close the lid. [music] That was [singing] easier than expected. A small repair needs [music and singing] only take. No. Searching for another tool. [music] One clean fold [singing] and two short pieces hold it better than before.

2:42:52We were ready for a [music] problem. There was hardly one [singing] at all. Some things work without [music] a struggle. Let them be [singing] when they do. No need adding [music] extra trouble to a job [singing] that's

2:43:13nearly through. [music] Take the easy answer. Sometimes it may [singing and music] be the proper one. >> [music] >> Missing screw is in the drawer [singing]

2:43:33right beside [music] the things we need. Even that feels almost lucky. [music] Usually they're never there. Put it in and turn it twice. Everything sits [music] straight again. Step away and check our work. Nothing

2:43:57[singing] wobbles, nothing moves for a job we kept [music and singing] avoiding that was hardly worth the worry. Put [music] the tape and tools away before we lose them once again. Some things work [music] without a struggle.

2:44:19Let them be when they do. No need [music] adding [singing] extra trouble to a job that's nearly [music] through. Take the easy [singing] answer. Sometimes it may be the proper one.

2:44:42Close the drawer and clear the floor. Everything is back [singing] in place. [music] Nice when something goes this simply. We'll take that for today.

2:45:06[music] >> [music] [music]

2:45:27>> The weather changed before we noticed. [music] Now the air feels easier outside. [singing] A few clouds [music] move above the roofs. Slow enough to watch a while. [music] No one planned [singing] to stay out long. Still no one turns

2:45:49back yet. [music] We pass a garden near the wall. Something small [music] is [singing] growing there. A dog sleeps beside a [music] gate. Doesn't move when people pass. Everything seems fairly settled for this

2:46:11[music] part [singing] of the day. Some afternoons [music] ask very little, just a place to wander through. Nothing grand needs to happen. [music] Nothing special [singing] needs a name. [music] Keep on going till we're ready.

2:46:34and we'll find our [singing] way back. [music] There's a bench, but we keep walking. [music] Neither one [singing] feels tired yet. A bicycle moves past slowly. [singing]

2:46:57Then the path is clear again. >> [music] >> We talk about a dozen things, none of them very important. [music] By the time we [singing] start returning, the air has cooled [music] a little more.

2:47:18One more more [singing] block feels easy enough. [music] So we take the longer way. No great story for the evening. till it [music] turned out rather well. Some afternoons ask [singing] very little, just a [music] place to wander

2:47:38through. Nothing grand needs to happen. [music] Nothing special [singing] needs a name. Keep on [music] going till we're ready and we'll find our way back. [music]

2:47:59Back inside, our shoes [music] come off. The quiet follows through the room. That was all [singing] the day required. More than enough for me.

2:48:24[music] After lunch, [music] the clouds pull back. Walls look warmer [singing] than before. [music] Glass catches a brighter shade along the edge of every frame. Someone moves a

2:48:45curtain halfway, [music] then decides to leave it there. Dust we missed is easy to see. [music and singing] Maybe that's the price we pay. Wipe [music] one shelf and leave the [singing] others. This was never cleaning day. Still the

2:49:05room looks somehow fresher from [music] a change we didn't make. Some afternoons [music] turn themselves around [singing] without asking anything from us. One [music] clear patch across the floor can change the whole [singing] place for a while. No need chasing [music]

2:49:27after it. It comes and [singing] goes the way it likes. A glass [music] bottle near the wall throws a shape across the floor. Move it once, the shape moves too. That becomes a minute's game. [music] Then we put the

2:49:48bottle back exactly where it started from. [singing] Later, clouds return again. Everything [singing] grows softer. [music] Now the warm patch leaves the floor. No one really saw it go. [music] Still the

2:50:08room feels changed somehow. Maybe only in [singing] our heads. Some afternoons [music] turn themselves around [singing] without asking anything from us. [music]

2:50:28One clear patch across the floor can change the whole [singing] place for a while. No need chasing after it. [music] It comes and goes [singing] the way it likes. Curtain stays half open still.

2:50:49No [music and singing] reason to adjust it now. Whatever [music] comes across the room can find its own way. [music] [music]

2:51:28>> [music] [music] [music] >> A few things wait beside the door. None of them need doing yet.

2:51:50The clock moves on [music and singing] without much notice. Pages turn and glasses fill from [music] somewhere near. [singing] A soft tune passes then disappears behind the room. [music] There was more we meant to finish. Maybe [singing] later, maybe

2:52:12not. One small job can stay till Monday. [singing] Another one can wait as well for an hour. Nothing [music] matters more than [singing] being where we are. Let the afternoon move slowly. [music]

2:52:32Leave some space between the plans. We have nowhere [singing] else to hurry. [music] Nothing pulling at our hands. Stay a [music] while and keep things simple. That's [music] enough

2:52:54for now. A book lies open [singing] near the middle. Half a chapter still unread. >> [music] >> Someone turns [singing] a page behind me. Someone else gets up to [music] leave.

2:53:16Everything keeps moving softly [singing] without asking us to follow. Later on, [singing] we'll gather [music] things, find our coats, and head outside. Until then, [music] there's no good reason [singing] to be thinking past this hour.

2:53:39Another page, [singing] another minute. Both can take as long as needed. [singing] Let the [music] afternoon move slowly. Leave some space between the [singing] plans. We have nowhere else to hurry. Nothing pulling [music and singing] at our hands. Stay a while

2:54:03and [music] keep things simple. That's enough. [music] For now, soon enough [singing] we'll be on our way for the moment we [singing and music] can stay.

2:54:24Leave the rest where we found it. It will keep [singing and music] another day. [music]

2:54:47Dinner ended quite a while ago. One last plate still needs a rinse. No [music] one moves to do it yet. It isn't going [singing] anywhere. A low song [music] plays behind us, soft enough to nearly

2:55:08miss. We talk about a film we saw. [music] Neither one remembers [singing] the end. One recalls a certain scene. [music] The other says that never happened. After trying for a minute, we decide we're both [music and singing] unsure.

2:55:30Let the evening take its own shape. There's [singing] no schedule left to [music] keep. Talk a while, then lose the subject. Find another somewhere else. When the [music] words begin to slow down, let them slow down, too.

2:55:52>> [music] [music] >> Someone [singing] finally takes the plate. Water runs and then it's done. [music] The song [singing] changes without notice. This one sounds a little

2:56:13older. No one knows the singer's name, so we [music] just keep listen. The story starts [music] about last summer, then gets [singing] lost halfway through. Doesn't matter where it ended. [music] We were mostly talking anyway.

2:56:34[singing] Soon the room gets quieter without anyone [music] deciding. So [music] let the evening take its own shape. There's no schedule [singing] left to keep. Talk [music] a while then lose the subject. Find another [singing]

2:56:55somewhere else. When the [music] words begin to slow down, let them [music] slow down, too. Glass is empty, music [singing and music] lower. There's not much left to say. [music]

2:57:19That's all right. We [music] stay a minute and get up and call it a [singing] day. [music] [music] [music]

2:57:46>> [music] [music] >> A sleeve gets caught along the handle. You reach [music] over, [singing] set it free.

2:58:06Then you notice one small mark and brush [music] it off without a word. Simple things go by [music] unnoticed. Most of them [singing] are better sold. Later there's [music] a heavier bag. You take one side, I take

2:58:29the other. [music] Neither asks who should carry. We just lift and keep on [singing] going at the [music] stairs. We change our hands then keep moving [singing] up again. Care [music] can look like almost [singing] nothing. Small enough [music]

2:58:51to miss sometimes. Holding [singing] something for a second. Making [music] room without being asked. No big [music and singing] words are really needed. Most days they'd be too much. [music]

2:59:11A loose scarf slips behind you. I catch [music and singing] the end before it falls. [music] You look back and give a smile. Then we're [music] talking about the day.

2:59:35By the next few [music] steps, we've both forgotten why we stopped it all. There are [music] things we never mention because they happen [music] all the [singing] time. Passing things across the room.

2:59:56Saving half without a question. [music] Maybe that's what makes them matter. They don't ask to be remembered. [music] Care can look like almost nothing. [music] Small enough [singing] to miss sometimes.

3:00:17Holding something for [singing] a second. Making room without [music] being asked. No big words [singing] are really needed. Most [music] days they'd be too much. At the end we [music] take our things,

3:00:39check the [singing] floor and look around. [music] Nothing lost [singing] and nothing missing. Off we go the way we came. [music] >> [music]

3:01:04>> A stripe bag falls from the shelf. [music] Three old cards come out behind it. One has writing on the back. [music] Another only [singing] has a date. The third one [music] makes us laugh before we [singing] even read a word.

3:01:27There's a picture [music] taken badly. How the face is [singing] out [music] of frame. Someone wrote a joke beneath it. Still not [music] funny, but we laugh. Maybe because [singing] we know exactly [music] who would write a thing like that.

3:01:51Some old things get better [singing] somehow. Not because they age so [music] well. Maybe [singing] we just change around them until they [music] mean something else. Keep the funny parts together. Those are [music and singing] worth a second look.

3:02:16Another [music] card has someone's [singing] number. Probably useless by now. Still we [music] don't throw it [singing] away. Pack it goes into [music] the pile. There are things we keep for reasons no one needs to [music]

3:02:37understand. The strike bag gets filled [singing] again. Cards [music] go in and string goes too. Before it closes, [music and singing] we read the joke one more time for no good reason. Still not clever. Still it

3:02:57works. [music] Maybe that's enough for us. Some old things [music] get better somehow. Not because they age so [singing] well. [music] Maybe we just change around [singing] them till they mean something else.

3:03:18Keep the funny [music] [singing] parts together. Those are worth a second look. >> [music] [music]

3:03:42>> Back goes back above the shelf. Everything is safe inside. Next time [music] it falls down again, we'll probably [singing] do the same.

3:04:02>> [music] [music] [music] >> Curtains move a little inward.

3:04:22Air comes [singing] through the narrow gap. A [music] book rests across my knees. I've been reading [singing] the [music] same page twice from outside. A bicycle bell [music] passes once, then fades away.

3:04:44The room feels almost empty, [music] though everything is still in place. A glass of water near the books. leaves a ring [singing] upon the wood. [music] Wipe it once and turn the page. [music]

3:05:05This time I [singing] make it through. Keep the room as quiet as it is. Nothing needs [music] to fill the space. Let the sounds come when they come [music] and disappear [singing] when they are done.

3:05:27There are hours [music and singing] made for doing and some made for hardly [singing] anything. [music] A car passes [music] far below. Then the [singing] building goes still again. [music]

3:05:49One soft page turns beneath my hand and settles flat. No one calls [music and singing] and nothing rings for once. That suits me well. The air [music and singing] changes as it gets later.

3:06:11Curtains barely move at [singing] all. Close the book. [music] Without a marker, I'll remember where I was. [music] Maybe not. But that's a problem for another [music and singing] reading day.

3:06:32Keep the room as quiet [music and singing] as it is. Nothing needs to fill the space. Let the sounds [music and singing] come when they come and disappear when they [singing] are done. There are hours made for [music] doing

3:06:54and some made for hardly anything. Set the glass beside the sink. [music] Leave the book where it [singing] has been. Nothing more to finish here.

3:07:15The room can stay [music] this way. [music] [music]

3:07:38>> [music] [music] [music] >> A button waits to be shown [singing] back. A letter needs a simple reply.

3:08:00Neither one [music and singing] feels very urgent, so they stay beside the books. Someone asks what [music] comes next. No one has a proper answer. [music] We could go and find some lunch or take

3:08:21a [music] walk around the block. Either sounds about as good. No need making much of it. Pick [music] away when [singing] we get there. Change it later if we like.

3:08:42Things can happen as [music] they happen. We don't need to know ahead. Take the easy way [music] for once. See where the [singing] hours go. If we change [music] our minds halfway,

3:09:03that works just as well. [music] We head out [music] without deciding left or right until the turn.

3:09:25The small [music] place looks fairly [singing] quiet, so we stop and wander in. [music] Nothing planned, [singing] but here we are. [music] Seems to work most every time. Later on, the button waits [music]

3:09:45exactly where [singing] we left it. The letter two can have tomorrow. No one needs an answer yet. [music] Some days work a little better when they aren't [music and singing] worked out at all.

3:10:07Things can happen [music] as they happen. We don't need [singing] to know ahead. Take the [music] easier way for once. see where [singing] the hours go. If we [music] change our minds halfway, that works just

3:10:31[music] as well. Back again with nothing finished. Still, the [music] day went pretty well. Leave the button for tomorrow. That's [music] all right. for now.

3:10:54[music] [music] Lunch is done. The plates are stacked. [music] There's still bread enough for later.

3:11:16A book [music] is open, face down nearby. Someone left their [music] glasses [singing] there. No one seems in any hurry to get [music] up and clear [singing] it all. A quiet [music] song plays from

3:11:37somewhere low enough to [music] talk above. [singing] We say less as minutes pass. Not [music and singing] because there's nothing left. Sometimes company [music] works just fine without filling every space. [singing]

3:12:00Nothing more [music] needs adding here. We have plenty [singing] as it is. [music] Leave the plates another minute. Let the [music] music carry [singing] on. If the day stay just [music] like this, [singing] I

3:12:22don't think I' mind at all. [music] Someone [singing] reaches for the bread, breaks a [music] piece, and passes half. Glasses go back [music] where they [singing] belong. The book remains exactly there.

3:12:46Another song [music] begins much slower. [singing] No one moves to change it. Soon [singing] enough, we'll [music] clean things up. Put the plates where [singing] they belong [music] for the moment. Nothing suffers if we stay a bit more

3:13:10still. There's a kind [music and singing] of easy comfort in not needing [singing] anything else. Nothing more needs [music] adding here. We have [singing] plenty as it is. Leave the plates another [music]

3:13:32minute. Let the music carry [singing] on. If the days stay just [music] like this, I don't think [singing] I'd mind at all. [music] At last, we rise and gather things.

3:13:54Everything [music] gets put [singing] away. The room returns to how it was. And that [music and singing] feels fine as well. [music]

3:14:17[music] [music] >> [music] >> The same old song comes on [singing] again. Halfway through [music] we know

3:14:40the tune. A cup is set beside the books. [music] Keys are resting near the wall. [music] Nothing here has [singing] changed too much since the last we looked around. [singing] [music] There's a mark beside the handle, a

3:15:02scratch beneath the wooden frame. [singing] Things get worn when they get [music] used. That's probably why we keep them. New is nice, but some old things already [singing] know where they belong.

3:15:25[music] Keep what works and let it stay. There's comfort in [music and singing] the usual ways. Knowing where to reach without looking [music] twice or thinking first. Some [music] things [singing] earn their place so slowly we forget [music] they

3:15:50ever did. [music] A song ends, another starts this one too we've [singing] heard before. Someone knows the second [music] verse and quietly [singing] follows along.

3:16:11[music] No one says a [singing] word about it. Still we both know every part. [music] Outside changes week by week. Inside mostly stays the same. A different coat. A different season. Same [singing] old

3:16:34keys beside the wall. >> [music] >> There are worse ways to spend an ordinary afternoon. [singing] Keep what [music] works and let it stay. There's comfort in the usual [music and singing] ways.

3:16:55Knowing where to reach without [singing] looking [music] twice or thinking first. Some things [singing] earn their place so slowly we forget they ever did. [music]

3:17:16The song is done. We gather up everything we brought along. Tomorrow maybe [singing and music] we'll be back and know exactly where to go. >> [music]

3:17:41[music] [music] >> A few coins stay in a pocket. [music]

3:18:01A folded note [singing] is there as well. [music] We forgot what it was for so it can stay another week. [music] The whole day has [singing] very little [music] written down for us to do.

3:18:22Someone mentions going somewhere, then [music] forgets to say exactly [singing] where. That sounds fine. [music] We grab our things and leave [singing] before we change our minds. At the first turn, we [singing and music] choose left, mostly

3:18:43because it's closer. [music] No need keeping track of everything. [singing] Some days work without a list. Go a [singing] little further than planned. Come back [music] when it feels right. [singing] What we miss. [music] Can't wait till

3:19:06later. There's always another chance. [music] A small arcade has [singing] three old games. One still works and two do not. We [music] spend a coin [singing] and lose too quickly. Try once more with

3:19:28much the same result. [music] Still we laugh more than expected. So the money [singing] did its [music] job. Outside again we change direction. [singing] There's no reason not to [music] now. One more step becomes another. Soon

3:19:52we're farther [singing] than [music] we thought. Nothing waiting needs us [music] badly. So we take our own sweet pace. No [music] need keeping track of everything. Some days [singing] work without a list.

3:20:12Go [music] a little further than planned. Come back when it feels right. [singing] What [music] we miss can wait till later. There's always another chance. [music]

3:20:32By the end, the notes still [music] folded. Coins are nearly [singing] all gone now. Whatever we forgot [music] this morning [singing] can remain forgotten today.

3:21:01[music] The box opens [music] on the first try. For once, nothing seems to stick. Everything is where we left it. [music] Even the thing we [singing] came to find.

3:21:22Take it out and close the lid. [music] That was easier [singing] than expected. A small repair [singing] needs only tape. >> [music] >> No searching for another tool. One clean [music and singing] fold and two short pieces hold it better than

3:21:42before. We were [singing] ready for a problem. [music] There was hardly one at all. Some [music] things work without a struggle. Let them be [singing] [music] when they do. No need adding extra trouble to a job that's nearly

3:22:05through. Take [music] the easy answer. [singing] Sometimes it may be the proper one. >> [music] >> Missing screw is in the drawer [singing]

3:22:26right beside the [music] things we need. Even that feels [singing] almost lucky. [music] Usually they're never there. Put it in and turn [music] it twice. Everything sits straight again. Step away and check our work. Nothing

3:22:49wobbles, nothing moves for a job we kept avoiding that was hardly [music] worth the worry. Put the tape and tools [singing] away before we lose them once again. [music] Some things work without a struggle. Let

3:23:12them be [singing] when they do. No need adding extra [music] trouble to a job that's nearly through. Take the easy answer. [singing] Sometimes it may be [music] the proper one.

3:23:34Close the drawer and clear the floor. Everything is back in place. Nice when something goes this simply. We'll take that for today. [singing]

3:23:56[music] [music] >> [music]

3:24:19>> The weather changed before we noticed. Now the air [singing] feels easier outside. A few clouds move above the roofs. Slow enough to watch [music] a while. No one [singing] planned to stay out long. Still [music] no one turns back

3:24:42yet. We pass [singing] a garden near the wall. Something small [music] is growing there. A dog sleeps beside a gate. Doesn't [singing] move when people pass. Everything seems [music] fairly settled for this part [singing]

3:25:04of the day. Some afternoons [music] ask very little, just a place to wander through. Nothing grand needs to happen. [music] Nothing special needs [singing] a name. Keep on going till we're ready [music]

3:25:26and we'll find our way back. >> [music] >> There's a bench, but we keep walking. Neither [singing] one feels tired [music] yet. A bicycle moves past slowly. [singing]

3:25:49Then the path is clear again. [music] We talk about a dozen things, none of them very important. >> [music] >> By the time we start returning, the air has cooled a [singing] little more. [music]

3:26:10One more more block feels easy enough. So we [music] take the longer way. [singing] No great story for the evening. Still [music] it turned out rather well. Some afternoons [music] [singing] ask very little. Just a place to wander through. [music] Nothing grand

3:26:33needs to happen. Nothing special needs [singing] [music] a name. Keep on going till we're ready. [music] And we'll find our way back. [music] Back inside. [singing] Our shoes

3:26:54come off. The quiet follows through the room. That was all the [singing] day required. More than enough for me.

3:27:14[music] After lunch, the clouds pull back. [music] Walls look warmer than before. Glass catches [music] a brighter shade along the edge of every frame. Someone

3:27:37moves [music] a curtain halfway, then decides to leave it there. Dust we missed [music] is easy to [singing] see. Maybe that's the price we pay. Wipe one [music and singing] shelf and leave the others. This was never cleaning day. Still the

3:27:58room [music and singing] looks somehow fresher from a change we didn't make. Some afternoons turn themselves [singing] around without [music] asking anything from us. One clear patch across the floor can change the whole [music] place for a while. No need chasing after it. It

3:28:21comes and goes the way it likes. [music] A glass [singing] bottle near the wall. Throws a shape across the floor. Move it once, the shape moves too. [music and singing] That becomes a minute's game. Then we put the bottle back [music] exactly [singing] where it

3:28:43started from. >> [music] >> Later, clouds [singing] return again. Everything grows softer now. [music] The warm [singing] patch leaves the floor. No one really saw it go. Still the room feels changed somehow. [singing]

3:29:05Maybe only in our heads. [music] Some afternoons turn themselves around [singing] without asking [music] anything from us. One clear patch across the floor can change the whole place for a

3:29:25[singing and music] while. No need chasing after it. It comes and [singing] goes the way it likes. [music] Curtain stays [singing] half open still. No reason to adjust it now.

3:29:47[music] Whatever [singing] comes across the room can find its own way. [music] [music]

3:30:21>> [music] [music] >> A few things wait beside the [music] door. None of them need doing yet.

3:30:42The clock moves on without much notice. Pages turn and glasses fill. From [music] somewhere near, [singing] a soft tune passes then disappears [music] behind the room. There was more we meant to finish. Maybe

3:31:03[singing] later, maybe not. One small job [music] can stay till Monday. [singing] Another one can wait as well for an hour. Nothing matters more than being where we are. Let the afternoon move slowly. [music] Leave some space

3:31:26between the plans. We have [singing] nowhere else to hurry. [music] Nothing pulling at our hands. Stay a while and [music] keep things simple. That's enough [music]

3:31:47for now. [music] A book lies open [singing] near the middle. Half a chapter [music] still unread. Someone turns [singing] a page [music] behind me. Someone else gets up to leave.

3:32:08Everything keeps moving [music] softly [singing] without asking us to follow. Later on, [singing] we'll gather things, find our coats, and head outside. [singing] Until then, [music] there's no good reason to be thinking

3:32:29past this [music] hour. Another page, [singing] another minute. Both can take as long as needed. Let the afternoon [singing] move slowly. [music] Leave some space between the plans. We have nowhere [singing] else to hurry. Nothing [music] pulling at our hands. Stay a while

3:32:55[music] and keep things simple. That's enough for now. [music] Soon enough, we'll be on our [singing] way for the moment we can [music] stay.

3:33:16Leave the rest [singing] where we found it. It will keep another [singing] day. [music] >> [music]

3:33:40>> Dinner ended quite a while ago. [music] One last plate still needs [singing] a rinse. [music] No one moves to do it yet. It isn't going anywhere. A low [music] song plays behind [singing] us soft enough to nearly miss. We [music] talk about a

3:34:03film we saw. Neither [singing] one remembers the end. [music] One recalls a certain scene. The other says that never happened. After [singing] trying for a minute, we decide we're both [music] unsure. Let the evening take its own shape.

3:34:25There's no schedule [music] left to keep. Talk a while, [singing] then lose the subject. Find another somewhere [music] else. When the words begin to slow down, let them [music] slow down, too. [music]

3:34:54Someone finally takes [music] the plate. Water runs and then [singing] it's done. The song changes without notice. This one sounds [singing] a little older. [music] No one knows the singer's name, so we [singing] just keep listening.

3:35:15[music] A story starts about last summer, then [singing] gets lost halfway through. Doesn't matter where it ended. We were [music] mostly talking anyway. [singing] Soon the room gets quieter without anyone deciding. So [music]

3:35:38let the evening [singing] take its own shape. There's [music] no schedule left to keep. Talk a while then lose the subject. Find another [singing] somewhere else. When the words [music] begin to slow down, let them slow [music] down, too.

3:36:00Glasses empty, [singing] music lower. [music] There's not much left to say. [music] That's all right. We stay a minute and get up and call it a day. [music]

3:36:28[music] >> [music]

3:36:50>> A sleeve gets caught along the handle. You reach over, [singing] set it free. [music] Then you notice one small mark and [music] brush it off without a word. Simple things go by unnoticed.

3:37:10[music] Most of them are [singing] better sold. Later there's a [singing] heavier bag. You [music] take one side, I take the other. Neither asks who should carry. [music] We just lift and keep on going at the

3:37:30stairs. We change our hands [music] then keep moving up again. [music] Care can look like almost nothing. Small enough to [music] miss sometimes. Holding something for a second. [music]

3:37:50Making room without being asked. No big [music and singing] words are really needed. Most days they'd be too much. A loose [music] scarf slips behind you. I catch the end before it falls.

3:38:16[music] You look back and give a [singing] smile. Then we're talking about the day. By the next [music] few steps, we've [singing] both forgotten why we [music] stopped it all. There are things we never mention

3:38:40because [singing] they happen all [music] the time. Passing things across the room. Saving half without [singing] a question. Maybe that's what makes them matter. They don't ask [music] to be remembered.

3:39:01Care [singing] can look like [music] almost nothing. Small enough to miss sometimes. Holding something for a second. [music] Making room without being asked. No big [music and singing] words are really needed. Most days they'd be too

3:39:24much. [music] At the end we take our things, check the floor and look around. Nothing [music] lost and nothing missing. Off we go the way we came.

3:39:54>> [music] >> A striped bag falls from the shelf. [music] Three old cards [singing] come out behind it. One has writing on the back. Another only has a date. The third [music] one makes [singing] us laugh before we even read a [music]

3:40:18word. There's a picture taken badly. [singing] Half a face is out of frame. Someone [music] wrote a joke [singing] beneath it. Still not funny, but we laugh. Maybe [music] because we know [singing] exactly who would write a

3:40:40thing like that. [music] Some old things get [singing] better somehow. Not because they age so well. Maybe we just [music] change around [singing] until they mean something else. [music] Keep the funny [singing] parts

3:41:00together. Those are worth a second look. [music] Another card has someone's [singing] number. Probably useless by now. Still, we don't [singing and music] throw it away. Pack it goes into the pile. [music]

3:41:24There are things we keep for reasons no one needs to [music and singing] understand. The strike bag gets filled again. [music] Cards go [singing] in and string goes too. Before it [music] closes, we read the joke one more time for [singing] no good

3:41:46reason. Still not clever. [music] Still it works. Maybe that's enough for us. Some old [music] things get better somehow. Not because [singing] they age so well. Maybe [music] we just change [singing]

3:42:06around them till they mean something else. Keep the [music] funny parts together. [singing] Those are worth a second look. [music]

3:42:27>> [music] >> Back goes back [music] above the shelf. Everything is safe inside. Next [music] time it falls down [singing] again, we'll probably do the

3:42:48same. >> [music] [music] [music]

3:43:09>> Curtains move a little inward. Air comes [music] through the [singing] narrow gap. A book rests across [music] my knees. I've been reading the same [singing] page twice from outside. [music] A bicycle bell passes once, then fades

3:43:33[singing] away. The room feels almost empty, [music] though everything is still in place. A glass of water [singing] near the books. leaves a ring upon [music] the wood. Wipe it once and turn the page.

3:43:57This time [singing] I make [music] it through. Keep the room as quiet as [singing] it is. Nothing needs [music] to fill the space. Let the sounds come when they come and disappear [music and singing] when they are done.

3:44:19There are hours made [singing] for doing [music] and some made for hardly anything. [music] A car passes far below. [music] Then the building [singing] goes still again.

3:44:41One soft [music] page turns beneath my hand and [music] settles flat. No one calls and nothing [music] rings for [singing] once. That suits me well. The air changes [music and singing] as it gets later.

3:45:03Curtains barely move at all. Close [singing] the book. [music] Without a marker, I'll remember where I was. [music] Maybe not. But that's a problem for another [singing] reading [music] day.

3:45:25Keep the room as quiet [singing] as it is. [music] Nothing needs to fill the space. Let the [music] sounds come when they come and disappear [singing] when they are done. There are hours made for [singing and music] doing

3:45:46and some made for hardly [singing] anything. [music] Set the glass beside the sink. Leave [music] the book [singing] where it has been. Nothing more to finish here.

3:46:08The room can [music] stay this way. [music] [music]

3:46:31>> [music] [music] >> A button waits to be [music] shown back. A letter needs a simple reply.

3:46:52Neither one [singing] feels [music] very urgent, so they stay beside the books. [music] Someone asks what comes next. No one has a proper answer. We could [music] go and find some lunch or [singing]

3:47:13take a walk around the [music] block. Either sounds about as good. No need making [music] much of it. Pick away [singing] when we get there. [music] Change it later if we like.

3:47:34Things can happen [music] as they [singing] happen. We don't need to know ahead. Take the [music] easy way for once. See where the [singing] hours [music] go. If we change our minds halfway, that [music] works

3:47:57just as well. [music] We head out without deciding [music] left or [singing] right until the turn. A small [music] place looks fairly

3:48:19quiet, so we stop and wander in. Nothing planned, but here we [music and singing] are. Seems to work most every time. Later on, the [music] button waits exactly where [singing]

3:48:40we left it. [music] The letter two can have tomorrow. No one [music] needs an answer [singing] yet. Some days work a little better when they aren't [music and singing] worked out at all. Things can happen [music] as they

3:49:02happen. We don't need to know ahead. Take the [music] easier way for once. see where the hours [music] go. If we change our minds halfway, [music] that works

3:49:22just as well. Back again [music] with nothing finished. Still, the day went pretty well. [music] Leave the button for tomorrow. That's all right. for [music] now.

3:49:51[music] Lunch is done. The plates [music] are stacked. There's still [singing] bread enough for later. [music] A book is open, face down nearby. Someone left their [singing]

3:50:15glasses there. No one seems in [music] any hurry to get up and clear [singing] it all. A quiet song [music] plays from somewhere low enough [singing] to talk above. We say less as minutes pass. Not because

3:50:39[music] [singing] there's nothing left. Sometimes company [music] works just fine without [singing] filling every space. Nothing more needs [music] adding here. [singing] We have plenty as it is.

3:51:01[music] Leave the plates another minute. Let the music carry [music] on. [singing] If the day stay just like [music] this, I don't think I' mind at all. Someone [music] reaches for the bread,

3:51:25breaks a piece, and passes half. Glasses go back where [music and singing] they belong. The book remains exactly there. Another song begins [music] much slower. No one moves to change it. Soon enough,

3:51:47[singing and music] we'll clean things up. Put the plates [singing and music] where they belong for the moment. Nothing suffers if we stay a bit [singing and music] more still. There's a kind of easy comfort

3:52:08in not [music] needing [singing] anything else. Nothing more needs adding here. We have [music] plenty as [singing] it is. Leave the plates another [music] minute. Let the music carry on. [singing]

3:52:30If the days stay [music] just like this, I don't think [singing] I'd mind at all. [music] At last, we rise [singing] and gather things. Everything gets [music] put away. [singing] The room returns to how it was. [music]

3:52:54And that feels fine [music] as well. [music] [music]

3:53:21>> [music] >> The same old song [singing] comes on again. Halfway [music] through we know the tune. A cup is set beside the books. [music] Keys are resting [singing] near the wall.

3:53:43Nothing here has changed too [music] much since the last we looked [singing] around. [music] There's a mark beside the handle, a scratch beneath the wooden frame. [music] Things get worn [singing] when they get

3:54:03used. That's probably why we keep [music] them. New is nice, but some old things [singing] already know where [music] they belong. Keep what works and let it stay. There's comfort in the usual [music and singing]

3:54:25ways. Knowing where to reach without looking [music] twice or thinking first. Some things earn their place so slowly we forget [music and singing] they ever did.

3:54:46A song [music] ends, another starts this one too we've [singing] heard before. Someone [music] knows the second verse and quietly [singing] follows along. No one says a word [music] about it.

3:55:07Still we both [singing] know every part. Outside [music] changes week by week. Inside mostly stays the same. [music] A different coat. A different season. Same old keys [music and singing] beside the wall.

3:55:30There are worse ways [music] to spend an [singing] ordinary afternoon. [music] Keep what works and let it stay. [singing] There's comfort in the [music] usual ways. Knowing where to reach without looking

3:55:51twice [music] or [singing] thinking first. Some things earn [singing] their place so slowly we forget they ever did. The song is done. We gather up

3:56:12everything we brought along. Tomorrow [music and singing] maybe we'll be back and know exactly where to go. >> [music]

3:56:36[music] [music] [music] >> A few coins stay [singing] in a pocket. A folded note is there as well. [music]

3:56:58We forgot what it was for so it can stay [singing] another week. [music] The whole day [singing] has very little written [music] down for us to do. [singing] Someone mentions [music] going somewhere,

3:57:18then forgets to say exactly where. That [music] sounds fine. We grab our things and [singing] leave before we change our minds. [music] At the first [singing] turn, we choose left, mostly [music] because it's closer.

3:57:40No need keeping track of everything. Some days [music and singing] work without a list. Go a little further than planned. [singing and music] Come back when it feels right. What we miss. Can't wait till [music and singing] later. There's

3:58:00always another chance. [music] A small arcade has [singing] three old games. One still works and two do not. We spend [music] a coin and lose [singing] too quickly. Try once more with much the same result.

3:58:23Still we laugh more than expected. So the money did its job. [music] Outside again [singing] we change direction. There's no reason [music] not to now. One more step becomes another. [music and singing]

3:58:44Soon we're farther than we thought. Nothing [singing] waiting needs us [music] badly. So we take our own sweet pace. No need [music and singing] keeping track of everything. Some days work without a list.

3:59:04Go a [singing and music] little further than planned. Come back when it feels [singing] right. What we [music] miss can wait till later. There's [singing] always [music] another chance.

3:59:24By the end, the notes [music] still folded. Coins are nearly [singing] all gone now. Whatever [music] we forgot this morning can remain [music] forgotten today.

3:59:49[music] The box opens on the first try. For once, nothing seems [music] to stick. Everything is where we left it. Even the

4:00:10thing we came to find. Take it [music] out and close the lid. That was easier than expected. [music] A small repair needs [singing] only tape. No searching for another tool. One clean [music] fold [singing] and two

4:00:32short pieces hold it better than before. We were ready [singing] for a [music] problem. There was hardly one at all. Some things work without [music] a struggle. Let them be [singing] when they do. No need adding extra

4:00:54trouble [music] to a job [singing] that's nearly through. Take the easy answer. Sometimes [music] it may be the proper one. [singing] [music]

4:01:14The missing screw [music] is in the drawer right beside the things we need. [music] Even that feels almost lucky. Usually [music] they're never there. Put it in and turn it twice. Everything

4:01:34sits [music] straight again. Step away and check our work. Nothing wobbles. Nothing moves for a job we kept [music and singing] avoiding that was hardly worth the worry. Put [music] the tape and tools away before

4:01:56we lose them once again. [music] Some things work without a struggle. Let them be when [singing] they do. No [music] need adding extra trouble to a job that's nearly through. [music] Take the easy [singing]

4:02:17answer. Sometimes it may be [music] the proper one. Close the drawer and clear the floor. Everything is back in [singing] place. Nice when something goes this simply.

4:02:41We'll take that for today. [music]

4:03:01[music] >> [music] [music] >> The weather changed before we noticed. Now the air feels easier outside. A few [music] clouds move above the roofs.

4:03:24Slow enough to watch a while. >> [music] >> No one planned to stay out long. Still no one turns [music] back yet. We pass a garden near the wall. [singing] Something small [music] is growing there.

4:03:44A dog sleeps beside a [singing] gate. Doesn't move when people pass. [music] Everything seems fairly settled for this part [singing] of the day. >> [music] >> Some afternoons ask very little, just a place to wander through.

4:04:06[music] Nothing [singing] grand needs to happen. Nothing special needs a name. Keep on [music and singing] going till we're ready. Then we'll find our way back. >> [music]

4:04:30>> There's a bench, [music] but we keep walking. Neither one feels tired yet. [music] A bicycle moves past slowly. [singing] Then the path is [music] clear again. We talk about a dozen things, [music] none of them [singing] very important.

4:04:54By the time we start [music] returning, [singing] the air has cooled a little more. One [music] more more [singing] block feels easy enough. So we take the longer way. [music] No great story for the evening. Still it turned out rather

4:05:15well. Some afternoons [music] ask [singing] very little. Just a place to wander through. Nothing [music and singing] grand needs to happen. Nothing special needs a name. Keep on [singing] going till we're

4:05:35ready. [music] And we'll find our way back. Back [music] inside. Our shoes come off. The quiet follows [music] through the room. That was all the day required. More than

4:05:57enough for me. [music] [music] After lunch, the clouds [music] pull back. Walls look warmer [singing] than

4:06:18before. [music] Glass catches a brighter shade along the edge of every frame. Someone [music] moves a curtain halfway [singing] and decides to leave it there. Dust we [music] missed is easy to see. [singing] Maybe that's the price we pay.

4:06:43Wipe one shelf and leave the [music and singing] others. This was never cleaning day. Still the room looks somehow fresher from [music] a change we didn't make. Some afternoons [music] turn themselves around [singing] without asking anything from us.

4:07:04[music] One clear patch across the floor can change the [singing] whole place for a while. No need chasing after it. It comes [music] and goes [singing] the way it likes. A glass [music] bottle near the wall. Throws a shape across the floor. Move it

4:07:26once, [music] the shape moves too. [singing] That becomes a minute's game. Then we put the bottle back exactly where it started [music] [singing] from. Later, clouds [singing] return again. Everything grows softer now. The

4:07:47[singing] warm patch leaves the floor. No one really saw it [music] go. Still the room feels changed somehow. Maybe only in [singing] our heads. Some afternoons turn themselves [singing] around without asking

4:08:10anything from us. [music] One clear patch across the floor can change the whole place for a while. No need chasing after it. It comes and goes [singing] the way it likes. Curtain stays half [music] open still.

4:08:32[singing] No reason to adjust it now. [music] Whatever comes across the room [singing] can find [music] its own way.

4:08:52[music] >> [music] [music]

4:09:17[music] >> A few things wait [music] beside the door. None of them need [singing] doing yet. The clock [music] moves on without much notice. Pages turn and glasses fill

4:09:42from [music] somewhere near. [singing] A soft tune passes then disappears behind the room. [music] There was more we meant to finish. Maybe later, [singing] maybe not. One small job can stay till Monday. [singing] Another one can wait as well.

4:10:05For an hour, nothing matters more than [singing] being where we are. Let the afternoon move slowly. [music] Leave some space between the plans. [singing] We have nowhere else to hurry. [music] Nothing pulling [singing]

4:10:26at our hands. Stay a while [music] and keep things simple. That's enough for now. >> [music] >> A book lies open [singing]

4:10:47near the middle. Half a chapter still unread. Someone [music] turns [singing] a page behind me. Someone else gets up to leave. Everything [music] keeps moving softly [singing] without asking us to follow.

4:11:08Later on, [singing] we'll gather things, find our coats, and head outside. Until then, [music] there's no good reason [singing] to be thinking past this hour. Another [singing] page, another minute. Both can [music] take as long as needed.

4:11:30Let the afternoon [singing] move slowly. Leave some space [music] between the plans. We have [singing] nowhere else to hurry. [music] Nothing pulling at our hands. Stay a while and [music] keep things simple.

4:11:52That's enough for now. Soon enough, we'll be on our way [music and singing] for the moment we can stay. Leave the rest [music] where we [singing] found it.

4:12:13It will keep another day. [music] Dinner ended [music] quite a while ago.

4:12:36One last plate [music] still needs a [singing] rinse. No one moves to do it yet. It isn't [music] going [singing] anywhere. A low song plays behind us, soft enough to nearly miss. [music] We talk about a film we saw. Neither one remembers

4:12:58[singing] the [music] end. One recalls a certain scene. The other says that never happened. After trying [music] for [singing] a minute, we decide we're both unsure. Let the [music] evening [singing] take its own shape. There's no schedule left

4:13:19to keep. Talk a while, then [singing and music] lose the subject. Find another somewhere else. When the words begin to slow down, let them slow [music] down, [singing] too.

4:13:41>> [music] >> Someone [music and singing] finally takes the plate. Water runs and then it's done. The song [singing] changes without notice. This one sounds a little older. No one knows [music] the singer's name, so we just keep

4:14:05listening. A story starts [music] about last summer, then gets [singing] lost halfway through. Doesn't matter where it ended. [music] We were mostly talking anyway. [singing] Soon the room gets quieter without anyone [music] deciding. So

4:14:30let the evening [music] take its own shape. There's no schedule left to keep. Talk a while then [singing] lose the subject. Find another somewhere else. When the [music] words begin to slow down, let them slow down, [music] too.

4:14:52Glass is empty, music [singing and music] lower. There's not much left to say. [music] That's all right. We [singing] stay a minute and get up and call it a day.

4:15:19[music] [music] >> [music]

4:15:40[music] >> A sleeve gets caught along the handle. You reach [singing and music] over, set it free. Then you notice one small mark and brush [music and singing] it off without a word. Simple things [music] go by unnoticed.

4:16:02Most of them [singing] are better sold. Later there's a heavier bag. [music] You take [singing] one side, I take the other. [music] Neither asks who should carry. We just lift and keep on [singing] going at the [music] stairs.

4:16:23We change our hands then keep moving [singing] up again. Care can [music] look like almost [singing] nothing. Small enough to miss sometimes. Holding [music and singing] something for a second. Making room without being asked.

4:16:46[music] No big [singing] words are really needed. Most [music] days they'd be too much. A [music] loose scarf slips behind you. I catch [singing] the end before it falls.

4:17:06[music] [music] You look back and give a smile. Then we're [singing] talking about the day. By [music] the next few steps, we've both forgotten why we stopped it all.

4:17:27There are [music] things we never mention. Because they happen all the [singing] time, passing [music] things across the room. Saving half without a [singing] question. [music] Maybe that's what makes them matter.

4:17:48They don't ask to be [singing] remembered. [music] Care can look like almost nothing. Small enough [singing] to miss sometimes. [music] Holding something for [singing] a second. Making room without [music] being asked.

4:18:10No big words [singing] are really needed. Most [music] days they'd be too much. At the end we take our [music] things, check the floor and look around. [music] Nothing lost and [singing] nothing

4:18:31missing. Off we go the way [music] we came. [music] >> [music] >> A striped bag falls from [music] the

4:18:51shelf. Three old [singing] cards come out behind it. [music] One has writing [singing] on the back. Another only has a date. The third one [music] makes us laugh before we [singing] even read a word.

4:19:11There's a picture [music] taken badly. How the face is [singing] out [music] of frame. Someone wrote a joke beneath it. Still not funny, but we laugh. [music] Maybe because [singing] we know exactly who would write a thing like that. [music]

4:19:35Some old things get better somehow. Not because they age [music and singing] so well. Maybe we just change around until they [music] mean something else. Keep the funny parts together. Those are [singing] worth a second look.

4:19:59[music] Another card [singing] has someone's number. Probably useless by now. Still, we [music] don't throw it [singing] away. Pack it goes into the pile. There are [music] things we keep for reasons no one needs to understand.

4:20:22[music] The strike bag gets filled again. [singing] Cards go in and string [music] goes too. Before it closes, we read the [singing] joke one more time for no good reason. [music] Still not clever. Still it works.

4:20:43>> [music] >> Maybe that's enough for us. Some old things get better somehow. Not because they age so [singing and music] well. Maybe we just change around them till they mean something [music and singing] else. Keep the funny parts together. [singing]

4:21:06Those are worth a second look. >> [music] [music] >> Back goes back above the shelf.

4:21:30Everything is safe inside. Next time it falls down again, we'll probably [music and singing] do the same. [music]

4:21:56[music] Curtains move. A little inward, air comes [singing] through [music] the narrow gap. A book rests across my knees. I've been reading the [music] same page

4:22:17twice from outside. A [music] bicycle bell passes once, then fades away. [music] The room feels [singing] almost empty. [music] though everything is still in place. A glass of water near the books [music]

4:22:41leaves a ring [singing] upon the wood. Wipe it [music] once and turn the page. This time I make it through. [music] Keep the room as quiet as it [singing] is. Nothing [music] needs to fill the space.

4:23:03Let the sounds come when they [singing] come and disappear when they [music] are done. There are hours [music and singing] made for doing and some made for hardly [singing] anything. [music]

4:23:24A car passes far below. Then the [music and singing] building goes still again. One soft page turns [music] beneath my hand and settles flat. No one [singing] calls and nothing rings

4:23:46for [music] once. That suits me well. The air [music and singing] changes as it gets later. Curtains barely move at [singing] all. Close the book [music] without a marker. I'll remember [singing] where I was. [music]

4:24:08Maybe not, but that's a problem for another [music and singing] reading day. Keep the room as quiet [singing] as it is. [music] Nothing needs to fill the space. Let the sounds come when they come

4:24:28[singing and music] and disappear when they are done. There are hours made [singing] for [music] doing and some made for hardly anything. [music] Set the glass beside the sink.

4:24:51Leave the [music] book where it has been. Nothing more to finish here. The room can stay [music] this way. [music]

4:25:16[music] >> [music] [music] >> A button waits to be shown

4:25:38[music and singing] back. A letter needs a simple reply. Neither one [music and singing] feels very urgent, so they stay beside the books. [music] Someone asks what comes next. No one has a proper answer.

4:26:01We [music] could go and find some lunch or take a walk around the block. Either [music] sounds about as good. No need [singing] making much of it. Pick [music] away when we get there. Change it later [singing] if we like.

4:26:26Things can happen as [music] they happen. We don't need to know ahead. [music] Take the [singing] easy way for once. See where the hours go. If we change our minds halfway, that works just as

4:26:50well. [music] We head out [music] without deciding left or right until [singing] the turn. A [music] small place looks fairly

4:27:11[singing] quiet, so we stop and wander in. Nothing [singing] planned, but [music] here we are. Seems to work most every time. [music] Later on, [singing] the button waits exactly [music] where

4:27:32we left it. The letter two can have tomorrow. No one needs [music and singing] an answer yet. Some days work a little better when they aren't [music] worked out at all. [singing] Things can happen [music] as they

4:27:54happen. We don't need [singing] to know ahead. Take the [music] easier way for once. see where the [singing] hours go. If we [music] change our minds halfway, that works just as

4:28:16well. Back again with nothing finished. Still, the [music] day went pretty well. Leave the button for tomorrow. That's [music] all right. for now.

4:28:39[music] [music] Lunch is done. The plates are stacked. There's still [music] bread enough for later.

4:29:00A book is open, face down nearby. Someone left their glasses [music] there. No one seems in any hurry [singing] to get up and [music] clear it all. A quiet song plays from [singing]

4:29:21somewhere low [music] enough to talk above. We say less as minutes [music] pass. Not because there's [singing] nothing left. [music] Sometimes company works just fine without filling [singing] every space.

4:29:44Nothing more [music] needs adding here. We have plenty [music] as it [singing] is. Leave the plates another minute. Let the [music] music carry [singing] on. If the day stay just [music and singing] like this,

4:30:06I don't think I' mind at all. Someone reaches for the bread, [music] breaks a piece, and passes half. Glasses go back [music and singing] where they belong. The book remains exactly there.

4:30:30[music] Another song begins much slower. No one moves to [music] change it. Soon enough, we'll clean things up. Put the [music] plates where [singing] they belong for the moment. Nothing suffers [music] if we stay a bit

4:30:54more [singing] still. There's a [music] kind of easy comfort in not needing [singing and music] anything else. Nothing more needs adding here. We have [music] plenty [singing] as it is. Leave the plates another minute. [music]

4:31:18Let the music carry on. If the days [music] stay just like this, I don't [singing] think I'd mind at all. [music] At last, we rise and gather things. Everything gets put away. The room

4:31:42returns [music] to how it [singing] was. And that feels fine [music] as well. [music]

4:32:09[music] >> [music] >> The same old song comes on again. Halfway through [singing] we know the tune. [music] A cup is set beside the books. Keys are

4:32:32resting near the wall. [music] Nothing here has changed too much since the last we looked [music] around. [singing] There's a mark beside the handle, a scratch beneath the [music and singing] wooden frame.

4:32:52Things get worn when they get [singing and music] used. That's probably why we keep them. New is nice, but some old things [singing] already know [music] where they belong. Keep what works [music] and let it stay.

4:33:14There's comfort in the usual [singing] ways. Knowing where to reach without looking [music] twice or thinking first. Some things earn [music] their place so slowly [singing] we forget they ever

4:33:35did. A song ends, another [music] starts this one too [singing] we've heard before. Someone knows [music] the second verse and quietly [singing] follows along.

4:33:56No one says a [music] word [singing] about it. Still we both know every part. Outside [music] changes [singing] week by week. Inside mostly [music] stays the same. A different coat. A different season. Same [singing] old

4:34:18keys beside the wall. >> [music] >> There are worse ways to spend an ordinary afternoon. Keep what works and let it stay. There's comfort in the usual [music and singing] ways.

4:34:39Knowing where to reach without looking [singing and music] twice or thinking first. Some things earn [singing] their place so slowly we forget they ever did.

4:35:00The song is done. We gather up everything we brought along. [music] Tomorrow maybe [singing] we'll be back and know exactly where to go. [music]

4:35:27>> [music] [music] [music] >> A few coins stay in a pocket. [singing and music] A folded note is there as well.

4:35:50We forgot what it [music] was for so it can stay another [singing] week. The whole day has [singing] very little written [music] down for us to [singing] do. Someone mentions going [music] somewhere,

4:36:11then forgets to say exactly [singing] where. That [music] sounds fine. We grab our things and leave [singing] before we change our [music] minds. At the first turn, we [singing] choose [music] left, mostly because it's closer.

4:36:31[music] No need keeping track [singing] of everything. Some days work without a list. [music] Go a [singing] little further than planned. Come back when it feels [music] right. What [singing] we miss. Can't wait till later. There's always [music]

4:36:54another chance. A small arcade has [music] three old games. [singing] One still works and two do not. We spend a [music] coin and lose [singing] too quickly. Try once more with much [music] the same result.

4:37:16Still we laugh more than expected. So the money [music and singing] did its job. Outside again we [singing] change direction. There's no reason [music] not to now. One more step becomes another. Soon

4:37:36we're farther [singing] than we [music] thought. Nothing waiting needs us badly. So [singing] we take our own sweet pace. [music] No need keeping track of everything. Some [singing and music] days work without a list.

4:37:57Go a little further [singing] than planned. Come back [music] when it feels right. [singing] What we miss can wait till [music] later. There's always another [singing] chance. [music] By the end, the notes still

4:38:19folded. Coins are nearly [singing] all gone now. Whatever we forgot [music] this morning [singing] can remain forgotten today.

4:38:42[music] The box opens on the first try. For once, [music] nothing seems to stick. Everything is where we left it. [music] Even the thing we came to find.

4:39:06Take it out and close the lid. [music] That was easier [singing] than expected. A small [music] repair needs only tape. No searching for another tool. One clean [music and singing] fold and two short pieces hold it better than

4:39:27before. We were [singing] ready for a problem. [music] There was hardly one at all. Some [music] things work without a struggle. Let them be when they [music and singing] do. No need adding extra trouble to a job that's nearly

4:39:50through. Take the easy answer. Sometimes [music] it [singing] may be the proper one. [music] Missing [music] screw is in the drawer

4:40:10right beside the things we need. [music] Even that feels almost [singing] lucky. Usually they're never there. Put it [music] in and turn it twice. Everything sits straight again. Step away and check [music] our work.

4:40:33Nothing wobbles. Nothing moves for a job we [music] kept avoiding [singing] that was hardly worth the worry. [music] Put the tape and tools away before we lose [singing] them once again. Some things work [music] without a [singing]

4:40:54struggle. Let them be when they [music] do. No need adding [singing] extra trouble to a job that's nearly through. Take [music] the easy answer. Sometimes [singing] it may be [music] the proper one.

4:41:18[music] Close the drawer and clear the floor. Everything is back in place. Nice when something goes this simply. We'll take that for today.

4:41:39[music] [music] [music] >> [music]

4:42:04>> The [music] weather changed before we noticed. Now the air feels easier outside. A few clouds move above the [music and singing] roofs. Slow enough to watch a while. No one planned to stay out long. Still

4:42:24no one turns back yet. [music] We pass a garden [singing] near the wall. Something small is growing there. [music] A dog sleeps beside a gate. Doesn't [singing] move when people pass. Everything [music] seems fairly settled for this part

4:42:48[singing] of the day. Some afternoons [music and singing] ask very little, just a place to wander through. Nothing grand needs to happen. [music] Nothing special [singing] needs a name. Keep on going [music and singing] till we're ready. Then we'll find our

4:43:12way [singing and music] back. >> [music] >> There's a bench, but we keep walking. Neither one feels [music and singing] tired yet. A bicycle moves past slowly. [singing]

4:43:33Then the path is clear again. [music] We talk about a dozen things, [singing] none of them very important. By the time we start returning, [music] the [singing] air has cooled a little more.

4:43:54One more more block feels easy [music and singing] enough. So we take the longer way. No great story for the evening. [music and singing] Still it turned out rather well. Some afternoons [music and singing] ask very little. Just a place to wander

4:44:15through. Nothing grand [singing] needs to happen. Nothing [music] special needs a name. Keep on going till we're ready. [music] And we'll find our way back.

4:44:36[music] Back inside. Our shoes come off. The quiet follows [singing] through the room. That was all the [singing] day required. More than enough for me.

4:44:59[music] After lunch, the clouds [music] pull back. Walls look warmer than before. Glass catches [music] a brighter shade along the edge of every frame. Someone

4:45:21moves [music] a curtain halfway, then decides to leave it there. Dust we missed is easy to see. Maybe that's the price we pay. Wipe one [music] shelf and leave [singing] the others. This was never cleaning [music] day.

4:45:41Still the room looks somehow fresher from a change we didn't make. Some afternoons [music] turn themselves [singing] around without asking [music] anything from us. One clear patch across the floor can [singing] change the whole [music] place for a while. No need chasing after it.

4:46:05It comes and goes the way it likes. A glass [music] bottle near the wall. [singing] Throws a shape across the floor. Move it once, the shape moves too. [music] That becomes a minute's [singing] game. Then we put the bottle back [music] exactly [singing] where it

4:46:28started from. >> [music] >> Later, clouds return again. [singing] Everything grows softer now. [music] The warm patch leaves the floor. No one [singing] really saw it go. [music] Still the room feels changed somehow. [singing]

4:46:49Maybe only [music] in our heads. Some afternoons [music] turn themselves around [singing] without asking anything from us. [music] One clear patch across the floor can change the whole place [music] for a

4:47:10while. [singing] No need chasing after it. It comes and goes the way it likes. [music] Curtain stays half open still. [music] No reason to adjust it now.

4:47:31[music] Whatever [singing] comes across the room can find its [music] own way. [music] >> [music]

4:48:08[music] >> A few things wait beside the [music] door. None of them need doing yet. The clock moves on without much notice.

4:48:30Pages turn and glasses fill from somewhere near. [music and singing] A soft tune passes then disappears behind the [singing] room. There was more we meant to finish. Maybe [singing] later, maybe not. One small

4:48:50job can stay till Monday. [singing] Another one can wait [music] as well. For an hour, nothing matters more than being where we are. Let the afternoon move slowly. [music] Leave some space between the plans. We [music] have

4:49:13nowhere else to hurry. Nothing [singing] pulling at our hands. Stay a while [music] and keep things simple. That's enough for now.

4:49:36>> [music] >> A book lies open [singing] near the middle. Half a chapter [music] still unread. Someone turns a [singing] page [music] behind me. Someone else gets up to leave. [music] Everything keeps moving [singing] softly without asking us to

4:49:58follow. Later on, [singing] we'll gather things, find our coats, and head outside. [singing] Until then, [music] there's no good reason to be thinking past this hour. Another page, [singing] another [music] minute. Both can take as long as needed.

4:50:22Let the afternoon [music] move slowly. [singing] Leave some space between the plans. We have nowhere [singing] else to hurry. Nothing [music] pulling at our hands. Stay a while [music] and keep things simple.

4:50:44That's enough for now. [singing] [music] Soon enough, we'll be on our way for the [music and singing] moment we can stay. Leave the rest where we found it.

4:51:05It will keep another [singing] day. [music] >> [music] >> Dinner ended [music] quite a while ago.

4:51:28One last plate [music] still needs [singing] a rinse. No one moves to do it yet. It isn't going anywhere. A low [music] song plays behind us, soft enough to nearly miss. We [music] talk about a film we saw. Neither [singing] one remembers the end.

4:51:51[music] One recalls a certain scene. The other says that [singing] never happened. After [music] trying for a minute, we decide we're [singing] both [music] unsure. Let the evening take its own [music and singing] shape. There's no schedule left to keep. Talk a while then

4:52:13lose the subject. Find another somewhere else. [singing] When the words [music] begin to slow down, let them slow down, too. [music]

4:52:36[music] Someone finally takes [music] the plate. Water runs and then [singing] it's done. The song [music] changes without notice. This one sounds [singing] a little older. No one knows [music] the singer's name, so we just keep

4:52:57listening. [music and singing] A story starts about [music and singing] last summer, then gets lost halfway through. Doesn't matter where it ended. We were [music] mostly talking anyway. [singing] Soon the room gets quieter without anyone deciding. [music] So

4:53:21[music] let the evening take its own shape. There's no schedule left [music] to keep. Talk a while [singing] then lose the subject. Find anotherwhere [music] else. When the words begin to [singing] slow down, let them [music] slow down, too.

4:53:43[music] Glass is empty, music lower. There's not much [music and singing] left to say. That's all right. We [music] stay a minute and get up and call it a day.

4:54:05[music] [music]

4:54:27>> [music] >> A sleeve gets [singing] caught along the handle. [music] You reach over, [singing] set it free. Then you notice one small mark and [music] brush it off without a word.

4:54:48Simple things go by unnoticed. [music] Most of [singing] them are better. So later there's a [music] heavier back. You take one side, [singing] I take the other. Neither asks who should carry.

4:55:10[music and singing] We just lift and keep on going at the stairs. We change our hands [music] then keep moving up again. Care can [music and singing] look like almost nothing. Small enough to miss sometimes.

4:55:30Holding [music] something for a second. Making room without being asked. No big words [singing and music] are really needed. Most days they'd be too much. A loose [music] scarf slips behind [singing] you. I catch the end before it

4:55:55falls. [music] You look back [music] and give a smile. Then we're talking about the day. By the next few steps, [music] we've [singing] both forgotten why we stopped

4:56:18it all. There are things we [music] never mention because they [singing] happen all the time. Passing things [music] across the room. Saving half without [singing] a question. Maybe that's what makes them matter.

4:56:40They don't ask to be remembered. [music] Care [singing] can look like almost nothing. Small enough to miss sometimes. [music] Holding something for a second. Making [music] room without being asked.

4:57:02No big [music and singing] words are really needed. Most days they'd be too much. At the end we take our [music] things, check the floor and look around. Nothing [music] lost and nothing

4:57:23missing. Off we go the way we came. [music] >> [music] >> A striped bag falls from the shelf.

4:57:44Three old cards [singing and music] come out behind it. One has writing on the back. Another only [singing and music] has a date. The third one makes us laugh before we even [singing and music] read a word. There's a picture taken [music] badly.

4:58:07How the face is out of frame. Someone [music] wrote a joke [singing] beneath it. Still not funny, but we laugh. Maybe because we know [music and singing] exactly who would write a thing like that.

4:58:28Some old things get [music and singing] better somehow. Not because they age so well. Maybe [music] we just change around [singing] until they mean something else. Keep the [music and singing] funny parts together. Those are worth a second look.

4:58:52Another card has someone's number. [singing and music] Probably useless by now. [music] Still, we don't throw it [singing] away. Pack it goes into the [music] pile. There are things we keep for reasons [singing] no one needs to [music] understand.

4:59:16The strike bag gets [singing] filled again. [music] Cards go in and string goes too before it [music] closes. We read the joke one more time for [singing] no good reason. Still not clever. [music] Still it works. Maybe that's enough for

4:59:38us. Some old things [music] get better somehow. [singing] Not because they age so well. Maybe [music] we just change around them till [singing] they mean something else. Keep the funny [music] parts together. [singing]

4:59:58Those are worth a second look. >> [music] [music] >> Back goes back above the shelf.

5:00:22Everything is safe inside. Next [music] time it falls down [singing] again, we'll probably [music] do the same. [music]

5:00:50[music] Curtains move. A little inward air comes [music] through the [singing] narrow gap. A book rests across my knees. I've been reading the same [music and singing] page twice

5:01:11from outside. A bicycle [music] bell passes once then fades away. The room feels [singing] almost empty. [music] though everything is still in place. A glass [music] of water [singing] near the books

5:01:33leaves a ring upon the wood. [music] Wipe it once and turn the page. This time I [singing] make [music] it through. Keep the room [music] as quiet as it is. Nothing needs to fill the space.

5:01:55Let the sounds [music] come when they come and disappear when they [singing] are done. [music] There are hours made [singing] for doing and some made for hardly anything. [music]

5:02:16A car passes far below. [music] Then the building [singing] goes still again. One soft page turns beneath my hand [singing and music] and settles flat. No one calls and nothing rings [music]

5:02:38for once. That suits me well. [music] The air changes [singing] as it gets later. Curtains [music] barely move [singing] at all. Close the book without a marker. [singing] I'll remember where [music] I was.

5:03:00Maybe not, but that's a problem [music] for another [singing] reading day. Keep the room as quiet as it is. Nothing [music and singing] needs to fill the space. Let the sounds come when they come

5:03:21[singing] and disappear [music] when they are done. There are hours made for [music] doing and some made for hardly [music and singing] anything. Set the glass [music] beside the sink.

5:03:43Leave the book [singing] where it has been. [music] Nothing more to finish here. The room can [music] stay this way. [music]

5:04:05[music] [music] >> [music]

5:04:27>> A button waits [music] to be shown back. A letter needs a simple reply. >> [music] >> Neither one feels [singing] very urgent, so they stay beside the books. Someone asks what [music] comes next.

5:04:49No one has a proper answer. [music] We could go and find some lunch or take [music and singing] a walk around the block. Either [music] sounds about as good. No need making [music] much of it.

5:05:10Pick away when we [singing] get there. Change it later [music] if we like. Things can happen as they [music and singing] happen. We don't need to know ahead. Take the [music] easy way for once. See

5:05:31where the hours [singing and music] go. If we change our minds halfway, that works just as well. [music] [music]

5:05:52We head out without deciding left or right until [music] the turn. The small place looks [singing] fairly quiet, so [music] we stop and wander in. Nothing planned, but here we [music and singing] are.

5:06:14Seems to work most every time. Later on, the [music] button waits exactly where [singing] we left it. The letter two [music] can have tomorrow. No one needs an answer yet.

5:06:35Some days [music] work a little [singing] better when they aren't worked [music] out at all. [singing] Things can happen as they [music] happen. We don't need [singing] to know ahead. Take the easier way for [music] once.

5:06:56see where the hours go. [music] If we change our minds halfway, that works just as well. [music] Back again with nothing finished. Still, the day went pretty well.

5:07:18Leave the button for tomorrow. [music] That's all right. for now. [music] [music]

5:07:40[music] Lunch is done. The plates [music] are stacked. There's still bread, enough for later. A book is [music] open, face down nearby. Someone left their [music] glasses there.

5:08:01No one seems in [music] any hurry to get up and clear it all. [music] A quiet song plays [singing] from somewhere [music] low enough to talk above. We say less as [music] minutes pass. Not

5:08:23because [singing] there's nothing left. Sometimes [music] company works just fine without filling every [music and singing] space. Nothing more needs adding here. We have plenty [singing] as it is.

5:08:45Leave the [music] plates another [singing] minute. Let the music carry on. [singing] If the day stay just like this, I don't think I' mind [music and singing] at all. Someone reaches for [music] the bread,

5:09:09breaks a piece, and [singing] passes half. Glasses go back where they belong. [singing] The book [music] remains exactly there. Another song [music] begins much slower. [singing] No one moves [music] to change it. Soon

5:09:31enough, [singing] we'll clean things up. [music] Put the plates where they belong for the moment. Nothing suffers [music and singing] if we stay a bit more still. [music] There's a kind of [singing] easy comfort

5:09:53in not needing anything else. Nothing more needs adding [music] here. We have plenty [singing] as [music] it is. Leave the plates another minute. >> [music] >> Let the music carry on. If the [singing]

5:10:15days stay just like [music] this, I don't think I'd [singing] mind at all. [music] At last, we rise [singing] and gather things. Everything gets [music] put away. [singing] The room returns to how it was.

5:10:39And that [music] feels fine as well. [music] >> [music]
