The opening bell sound and the little story that follows held my attention completely, while the timbre and cadence of Jackson's voice seem well-suited to the meditative, reflective tone of the essay. Bells heard in the piece are used sparingly, but to great effect and perfect punctuation. A skillful blend of verbal musing and evocative sound. I'd enjoy hearing this on the radio anytime, but most particularly in the early morning, when its soothing and thoughtful aspects would match the beginning of day.
