Time To Hesitate…

Time To Hesitate…

August 12, 2022 Jerry King Comments 0 Comment

All life,
and consequently the life of history,
is made up of simple moments,
each of them relatively undetermined in respect to the previous one,
so that in it reality hesitates,
walks up and down,
and is uncertain whether to decide for one or other
of various possibilities.

…this metaphysical hesitancy
which gives to everything living
its unmistakable character of
tremulous vibration.

-excerpt Revolt Of The Masses by José Ortega y Gasset p. 78


I need a tune !  How about you?  This one will serve to get us through a Friday…  Baby, I Need Your Loving, by Johnny Rivers.  I can do without the go-go dancers, but his passionate delivery is persuasive.  There are things worth living/dying for !  Lyrics by Herbert Dozer and Brian Holland who helped define the Motown sound.
