For a couple of weeks… I’ve had a song going through my mind… it was there when I went to bed at night… and still going when I got up in the morning… and even during those pit stops in between… it was there at work… it was everywhere…
Now… for years… I’ve gotten messages from songs… so of course I contemplated the meaning for me… Say Something… I’m Giving Up on You…
It was strange… it didn’t fit… I’m not in a relationship… there was no one to give up on… and no one to give up on me…
Bertha… let me contemplate it for a bit… before she told me… she was the one singing… I was the one who needed to say something… who needed to write again…
And… it’s true… I do need to write again… I’ve taken a couple of months off… after feeling too many demands on my life… most of them self-imposed… but… it is time to get my fingers back on the keyboard again…
Interestingly… it wasn’t easy… there were so many excuses not to… invalid reasons… to keep my words bottled inside… but… Bertha… reminds me… reminds you… that when I block my passion… I block my soul… I can’t grow… and I can’t soar…
I wonder… now that I’ve written this… if she will quit singing… and… I hope she won’t… the song is hauntingly beautiful… and just a reminder… not to give up on me…
Jane…
Looking forward to hearing more of what you — and Bertha — have to say!
