For anyone who may need it....

[Dagny]

One of my favorite poets, Joni Mitchell... you don't have to love the sound of her voice to hear yourself resonating in her words sometimes. This one always gives me a bit of hope.
I Think I Understand
Daylight falls upon the path, the forest falls behind
Today I am not prey to dark uncertainty
The shadow trembles in its wrath, I've robbed its blackness blind
And tasted sunlight as my fear came clear to me
I think I understand
Fear is like a wilderland
Stepping stones or sinking sand
Now the way leads to the hills, above the steeple's chime
Below me sleepy rooftops round the harbor
It's there I'll take my thirsty fill of friendship over wine
Forgetting fear but never disregarding her
Oh, I think I understand
Fear is like a wilderland
Stepping stones and sinking sand
Sometimes the voices in the night will call me back again
Back along the pathway of a troubled mind
When forests rise to block the light that keeps a traveler sane
I'll challenge them with flashes from a brighter time
Oh, I think I understand
Fear is like a wilderland
Stepping stones or sinking sand

Sometimes the voices in the night will call me back again
Back along the pathway of a troubled mind
When forests rise to block the light that keeps a traveler sane
I'll challenge them with flashes from a brighter time
...
beautiful. priceless.

E-girl: if you've never listened to her song "Cactus Tree", then I highly recommend you do so. I think you, of all the people I know, would truly appreciate it the way I do.

Now the way leads to the hills, above the steeple's chime
Below me sleepy rooftops round the harbor
It's there I'll take my thirsty fill of friendship over wine
Forgetting fear but never disregarding her
This is exactly how i go through many of my days now. Occupying my time with friends, laughing and joking. In the back of my mind i am always scared, scared of what the next days news might bring...or whether my dreams, simple dreams will really happen. Friends are the best medecine for taking it away...but in reality its always there.
