Love Lift Us Up

It's New Year's Eve Day and I am alone.  And I will be alone tonight.  And tomorrow.  This is nothing new.  And it hurts like it always has.  I saw a sad movie with a friend last night and cried during and after.  Back at home, sitting on my couch, his arms around me, I cried.  It's like you are lost, he said.  Yes.  I am trying to find my footing, my place, my groundedness but I haven't yet.

It's snowing outside, the house is chilly, and I'm listening to music.  Tears fall, like the sadness just has to leach out.  I cannot contain my feelings and so I am surrendering to how I feel.  It's just the way it is right now and it will pass.  Or not. 

Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong.

Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world, few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive

The road is long, there are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know, up where the clear winds blow

Some hang on to "used to be"
Live their lives, looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our life, out there to find

The road is long, there are mountains in our way,
But we climb them a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know, up where the clear winds blow

Time goes by
No time to cry
Life's you and I
Alive, today

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know, up where the clear winds blow

-lyrics by Joe Cocker

Blessed be.
