Songs and lyrics

Trying to post videos and lyrics to no avail.

Laid our blessings on the ground,
The softening of sound
Draws us closed again
Stay, stay and watch the coals
Till they cease to glow
Like empty promises
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
Baby?
There's nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
To bring you back again
This of life I know is true
It's all a falling through
And so I reach for you
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
Don't you care
That it may seem unfair?
(You steal things you ought to borrow)
Don't you find
That it may seem unkind?
(I'd rather breathe than drown in sorrow)
Why, why did you go
Why did you go away baby

Ray LaMontagne's 'A Falling Through'

If I told you, you wouldn't believe me


me lately

death of a friend, hospitalization of another friend, a speeding ticket, license suspension, inability to drive for five days, a blackout, car dying, financial crises (note plural), marital strife....

If I told you that all occurred within the last couple of weeks or so, you might not believe me.  

Or maybe you would.  Maybe you too, are well-versed in the idea that we are always entering a storm, in the middle of a storm, or just coming out of one.  

I honestly don't know how much more I can take.  (And no, that is NOT a challenge.  Get thee behind me, satan.  NOT TODAY.)

So Happy Friday!


How is life treating YOU?
