If you missed it: Sure, you could read Monica Brady-Myerov’s piece on the Threshold Choir, but you really ought to listen. It’s a powerful story. A singing group from Littleton visits hospital bedsides to ease the transition to the other side.

The singers rehearse by gathering around a person reclined in a lawn chair. For her story, Monica played the patient. She started recording, closed her eyes and floated away. (Watch the video.) Monica tells me if she were to choose, she would want to go out on “The Water Is Wide,” an old folk song.
