Excerpt from Carnaval by Haruki Murakami.

These were both nothing

more than a pair of minor incidents that happened in my trivial little life. Short side trips along the way. Even if they hadn’t happened, I doubt my life would have wound up much different from what it is now. But still, these memories return to me sometimes, traveling down a very long passageway to arrive. And when they do, their unexpected power shakes me to the core. Like an autumn wind that gusts at night, swirling fallen leaves in a forest, flattening the pampas grass in fields, and pounding hard on the doors to people’s homes, over and over again.

    Thank you for listening. If you would like to hear more, I have just uploaded Robert Frost's Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening here. It's one of my favourites. ❄️ https://youtu.be/s_N-gX0eUZc
