I have a request. Stop and think about a song that pertains to your life right now. It does not have to be a new song, there is a large database of music out there, and it may take sometime to think about this request. Take this time, it may help you in some way with where you are, right now in your life. I thought of this on a recent plane trip. I am one of those very strange people who loves a plane trip. Why? Well, first you are most likely going somewhere different from where you live. Right there, excitement. For a few days or weeks, you will be transported to someplace that will bring you out of your comfort zone and you will have the opportunity to learn something, perhaps visit with loved ones, make memories and see places you may have never seen. OK, maybe the plane trip can be challenging if you let it. Or you can think of it as a few hours where you get to do exactly what you choose to do, read, sleep, or if you are like me on this plane trip, right now, listen to music.
I was relaxing listening to my iTunes library when a song that I love, but hadn’t really listened to in a while played on my random playlist. It was U2, Bad. My emotions took over. It struck me that this song represented my life right now as if it was waiting for me, wanting me to listen. So here is mine,
“This desperation
Dislocation
Separation, condemnation
Revelation in temptation
Isolation, desolation
Let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
Oh now, and so to fade away”
