Hope There are no wrong turnings. Only paths we had not known we were meant to walk.~ Guy Gavriel Kay Guy Gavriel Kay Canadian fantasy author (1954-present) A defining feature of fantasy author Guy Gavriel Kay’s novels is his tendency to set them in fictional locales that resemble real places, rather than wholly fabricated fantasy worlds such as J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth. For example, “A Song for Arbonne” is set in an analogue of medieval Provence, France, and “The Sarantine Mosaic” takes place in a version of sixth-century Byzantium with a fantastical twist. In his epic 1990 novel “Tigana,” set in a world resembling Renaissance Italy, a group of rebels conspire to overthrow occupying forces and reclaim their homeland. While walking the winding darkened hallways of an ancient castle, Devin, one of the novel’s protagonists, remembers something he had once been told: “There are no wrong turnings. Only paths we had not known we were meant to walk.” It’s a reminder to journey on even when the path seems lost — and that other ways are sure to open up to us as long as we keep the faith.

From: Sharon Pohlman ‘America’s Got Talent’ recap: Simon Cowell refers to Mel B as ‘Miss Kill-the-Mood’ in her return as judge John Benutty Reality TV May 27, 2025 America’s Got Talent Season 20 premiered Tuesday night with the first two-hour edition of its auditions episodes featuring a contortionist, musicians, a magician, a high-flying aerial act, and more than one emotional Golden Buzzer moment. Got Talent creator Simon Cowell is back as one of the four panel judges alongside Howie Mandel for his 16th time, Sofia Vergara for her sixth time, and Mel B for her seventh after a six-season hiatus. Terry Crews is once again master of ceremonies as host and this season will be shepherding the audience through a refreshed format that emphasizes behind-the-scenes footage, backstage moments and contestant experiences as they prepare their acts for competition. Over the course of the night, we saw footage of the judges speaking to one another during stage setting and commercial breaks, including one instance where Simon referred to Mel as "Miss Kill-the-Mood" for hitting her "Red X" buzzer on an act the other three judges all liked. This season's competition will follow the same format that AGT fans are used to. In the auditions phase, an act needs at least three "yes" votes from the judges in order to advance. If a judge or Terry believes an act is exceptional they can hit the Golden Buzzer to award them an automatic bid to the final rounds. Read on for our "Auditions 1" recap of the contestants who performed on America's Got Talent Season 20, Episode 1, which aired May 27 at 8 p.m. on NBC.

Wisdom I will take with me the emptiness of my hands. What you do not have you find everywhere. ~ W.S. Merwin Two-time U.S. Poet Laureate W.S. Merwin’s 1967 book of poetry “The Lice” is one of his most beloved bodies of work. This quote from one of the book’s poems, “Provision,” offers up a concept from Merwin’s Buddhist beliefs: absence becoming presence. In this philosophy, the lack of one thing enables the existence of another; to actively miss something creates a new metaphysical realm in which they can exist. Merwin’s poem reminds us not to be discouraged by what we lack: Instead, we should look for what it can reveal about the present. Mary Live long and prosper

From: Sharon Pohlman ‘America’s Got Talent’: Simon Cowell Teases Big Changes in Season 20 as Mel B. Returns Emily Aslanian When the lights came on for the first-ever season of America’s Got Talent in the summer of 2006, over 12 million viewers were watching. That hugely successful launch — which boasted even better numbers than another talent show featuring Simon Cowell, American Idol — solidified the everyone-is-welcome talent competition as appointment television. But according to Cowell, it almost didn’t happen. “I can vividly remember NBC making us an offer to buy the show — and it was so exciting because nobody else wanted it,” the host recalls with a laugh. “I was so grateful and just so excited that we could do it. If it hadn’t been on NBC, we wouldn’t be having this conversation right now.” Two decades later, as AGT prepares to open its 20th season, with host Terry Crews and judges Cowell, Howie Mandel, Mel B, and Sofía Vergara, that buzzing excitement is in the air. Former Spice Girl Mel B, who returns to AGT after participating in The Champions and Fantasy League spinoffs, says the feeling is incredible. “It’s a completely different experience,” notes the singer, who recalls that she was in a toxic marriage the first time she sat at the judges’ table (she previously judged from 2013 to 2018). “Now, when I do the show, I can give 100 percent all the time. I also find that, because of what I’ve gone through, the contestants open up to me so much more.” Her inspiring story calls to mind dozens of other emotional moments that play out in any given episode as people from all over the globe step onstage. “One young man danced so hard [that after] he got through backstage, he collapsed in my arms,” Crews recalls of an audition this season. “It was with joy, but you could just see he gave everything he had. He couldn’t even stand up. That blew me away.” Mandel, now the longest-standing judge, with 15 seasons under his belt, calls the show “the epicenter of hope and dreams coming true.” After seeing that confetti rain down on winners, it’s hard to disagree. “There are moments that really stick out,” Mandel says. “When they do, you know that you’ve been witness to something incredibly special.” Viewers will now be able to see those special moments up close, explains Cowell, because of the intriguing way this season was packaged and shot. “We have [traditionally] shown about two-thirds of what really happens on the day. There’s an awful lot of stuff going on behind the scenes — what a contestant is going through, what it’s like to be in the audience — which you don’t see. I don’t even see. I’ve always thought that is so interesting,” he says, noting, “It’s about the closest [viewers have gotten] to being in my chair in all the years I’ve done it.” Crews says it felt like the camera was on him 24/7, but giving away his Golden Buzzers — Crews and the judges each get two chances to send a performer straight to the live shows, which kick off later this summer — is euphoric. “It’s better than money,” Crews says. “I know it’s a million dollars at stake, but you’re talking about validating someone’s dream, and that’s very rare to get, especially as an entertainer. It’s so much rejection, so many sacrifices. [Getting the Golden Buzzer says,] ‘We hear you. We believe in you, and you’ve been right all along.’” “Somebody gets a Golden Buzzer and they are crushed with beautiful emotion,” Mandel adds. “They know that their life’s never going to be the same. Every year, at least once, I walk over to Simon’s seat in the midst of this, and I go, ‘Simon, look at what your idea has done. And look at you, now on the other side of the globe, looking at a group of kids who come from a dark place, and they are being rained down with confetti and golden opportunity.” It’s not just emotional for the performers, but also for Cowell. “If you said to me at the beginning, ‘Do you think you’ll get to 10 years?’ I would’ve said, ‘God willing.’ Twenty years, that would’ve been, ‘Are you kidding?’ Now, because of how many people you see around the world
