The other night on my long drive back to jersey from upstate, i was doing my driving meditation...alone, but into the solitude. Recently I've been taking the space to listen to music LOUD and sing just as loud. Its my way of releasing and processing my complex life.
So the other night I'm driving and singing with Beth Orton, and I look up at the moon, and am struck by how beautiful and alone it is. Alone yet shining down on all of us at the same time, affecting us. I felt the beauty of the moon's alone-ness and brightness so deep inside of me, I started to cry because it seemed so sad.
I belted out the song and felt the sadness and cried, and then came to the acceptance that sometimes something beautiful and sad is okay and doesn't need to be fixed. Sometimes something can be sad and beautiful and heartwrenching and there's nothing to do about it, that's just what it is.
