“Imagine you buy tap shoes, and you tap dance your whole life. You’re good at it, but you grow older. You have a kid and decide to hang up your tap shoes, and you put them on the top shelf of your closet. All of a sudden, a few years later, you’re downstairs and you hear tapping coming from the top floor. You wonder what that is. You walk upstairs, and all of a sudden you see that your kid took out the tap shoes and you realize that they fit him better than they ever fit you. And you realize that those shoes were never meant for you. They were always meant for him. That’s how it feels watching Anthony Ramos play Usnavi.” - Lin-Manuel Miranda

Legacy. What is a legacy? It’s planting seeds in a garden you never get to see. I wrote some notes at the beginning of a song someone will sing for me. America, you great unfinished symphony, you sent for me. You let me make a difference, a place where even orphan immigrants can leave their fingerprints and rise up. I’m running out of time. I’m running, and my time’s up! Wise up! Eyes up! I catch a glimpse of the other side. Laurens leads a soldier's’ chorus on the other side, my son is on the other side, he’s with my mother on the other side Washington is watching from the other side. Teach me how to say goodbye.
