Lil, Thank you for listening. I added the lyrics in the post now. Finding your voice is VERY crucial. At times mine seems stronger than others.

I was talking with a friend and she mentioned that she spent a lot of time hiding beneath her table as a child when things were, "rough." She also saw a tragic car accident as a child and has a recurring dream that she is in a tsunami and can't/won't run. But tidal wave is easier to make in to a lyric than tsunami. I also had a friend of mine die last week. 42 years old and he left behind a beautiful family. Incredibly sad stuff. I think all of this is wrapped up in this song.

I've been in bi-weekly therapy for some time now, but it's been "remote," and it just doesn't seem to be as effective. I think that's probably a pretty good analogy for life in general. Yeah, we can all zoom, etc but it's just not as effective.

I'm dealing with some incredibly heavy stuff personally right now. Your question, "is it ever too late?" is a timely one. Maybe someday I'll write up what's happening. It's worth noting that it's a family matter that doesn't involve my wife/kids but still it's some heavy stuff.

I know you are going through some heavy stuff too, my friend. I'll comment in pubski. I really appreciate you taking the time to listen, lil. You're phenomenally intuitive.
