The song refers, I think, to Les Pensées by Blaise Pascal. I know nothing about it except what I read on Wikipedia. The synchronicity is nice, I like it, though that’s not why I chose the song.

The video is just because it’s goofy and we need some leaven of levity to break up a heavy series of posts. It’s been another long night, as you can tell. I struggled again with this post, as I have with all of the others. I want . . . something. To communicate . . . what? And yet, not too clearly, not too literally. As I’ve stated before, sometimes the literal tells less of the truth than the figurative. And I want to be truthful. To get as close to the truth as I can, and to communicate it so you’ll discover it with me, and somewhere in there, we’ll meet.

My jokes are corny, too.
