This is such a powerful piece, Houston. I will never be able to unsee the Interstellar/Christmas Carol connection now, and your reflections on this point of contact are so redemptive and inspiring. Thank you for this.

I love this!

We missed the theatrical re-release, but watched Interstellar again at home about a month ago, then The Muppet Christmas Carol yesterday on Christmas night. I’m grateful to have encountered your piece today, in this present. Thank you, Houston, for drawing out these connections and their reminder of the gift of here-and-now agency that we continually receive. May we learn with Cooper and Ebenezer to treasure it!

“And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.”

This is absolutely fantastic. As one who also experienced A Christmas Carol in Nashville, I want to stand up and applaud the incredible connections you have made to Iinterstellar and The Story. Well done!

Wow, Houston. This is beautiful and helpful. Christmas Carol has been on my mind a lot - I was able to attended the Rabbit Room production as well. Your reflection gave me a chance to be nourished by it even further. Keep up the good, good work.
