Speaking of Reunions...


Yesterday the news was both uplifting and horribly sad. On one side of our country there was a reunion of Mother & Child. On the other side of the country there was the horrible shooting at a Gym. One of the victim's was an expecting mother ...How horrific.

I kept hearing in my mind Paul Simon's song "Mother and Child Reunion" I had never really paid much attention to the words other that the catchy phrase of Mother Child Reunion is only a moment away...then I googled the lyrics. I think it exactly expresses yesterday's energies!

Read for yourselves!


Words & Music by Paul Simon

No, I would not give you false Hope

On this strange and Mournful day

But the mother and child reunion

Is only a motion away,

Oh, little darling of mine

I can't for the life of me

Remember a sadder day

I know they say let it be

But it just don't workout that way.

And the course of a lifetime runs over and over again.

I just cant' believe it's so,

And though it seems strange to say I never been laid so low

In such a mysterious way

And the course of a lifetime

Runs over and over again

But I would not give you false hope

On this strange and Mournful day

When the mother and child reunion

Is only a motion away

Oh, the mother and child reunion is only a moment away.
