“She was, he knew- and had known very early, he supposed- one of those rare and always lovely humans whose moral nature was so delicate that it must be nourished and cared for that it might be fulfilled. Alien to the world, it had to live where it could not be at home; avid for tenderness and quiet, it had to feed upon indifference and callousness and noise. It was a nature that, even in the strange and inimical place where it had to live, had not the savagery to fight off the brutal forces that opposed it and could only withdraw to a quietness where it was forlorn and small and gently still.” ― John Williams, Stoner A delicate, lush playlist to replenish and soothe.  As always, I hope you enjoy listening.Playlist:Stuart Earl – The Letter  Stephen Weber – AuthenticityDamien Rice – DelicateTamino & Angèle – SunflowerElbow – KindlingFink – We Watch the Stars (Berlin Session)Old Sea Brigade & Luke Sital-Singh – Summertime LowAinslie Wills – Two Strong HeartsOSKA & Stu Larsen – Wide Awake & Dreaming (Stripped Duet)The Paper Kites – Walk Above the City (feat.
