In the Distance There is Light
“Today, Dolores takes me to meet an artist for lunch. A flighty woman called Jennifer Bloom who makes textile prints. After lunch, we decide to go home—to Dolores’ house.
In the car, a U2 song comes on, and it takes me right back to a road trip Ian and I took along the Pacific Coast Highway two years ago. He used to make long playlists of which half the songs were by U2. We had a rule that whoever was driving could choose the music and he always insisted on taking the wheel.
Dolores looks at me ...as if she knows exactly what the song is doing to me.
“He and Angela shared a great but not entirely understandable love for all things U2. She went to their concert with him and Ethan not long before her final diagnosis. She talked about it for weeks.”
“They have some good songs, I guess.” I remember Ian tapping his fingers on the steering wheel while he sang along exuberantly. “This is not one of them.” I don’t even know the name of the song that’s playing. Bono seems to repeat the words sweetest and thing often, so I guess that might be the title.MoreLess
