I am struggling to write anything amusing or enlightening myself right now so I thought I might share something that I find, personally, inspiring. I know that a lot of people bravely express thier personal demons and battles with mental health via their blogs and, to all of you, I salute.
This is for you.

Someone sent a picture of me
Smiling. As I used to be
Natural in a natural light
Looking out from black and white
I sat and stared into the past
I tried to understand at last
One life cut in two by time
Was it his life? Was it mine?
I tried to whisper in his ear
He would not listen, would not hear
I tried to light the path ahead
He would not see, would not be led
I thought I knew the boy I saw
But I don’t think so any more
A memory from way back when
I didn’t even know him then
Just taking the opportunity to showcase a few dudes who were very important to me way back when. Several of them no longer on the planet. But the legacy remains.
I was mentioning my lack of French to someone earlier and was reminded of a friend who once recorded an album of covers, one at least of which was sung in the language of love. I don’t think that he spoke a word of French himself then and nor does he now.
I just thought that it might produce a soft giggle on a quiet Easter Sunday.
