Mortality and landslide

That previous thoughts bring me to a song that swims through my life quite a bit since forever. May be it’s the holiday season that makes you slow down and think a little. And I do think a lot about my mortality of late.

All the bad things that had happened in my life for the last few years… feelings and emotions was the last to go, but an angel brought them back. But you know, spirit and man are never meant to be together.

Two smaller version of me running the house, laughing, smiling, bring the sunshine into my dim little shire… playing, testing, learning, doing all the things that I have done before… Oh! Not forgetting hurting themselves as well. As a parent, all I can do is to patch them up and let them do what ever that they are doing again.


Fleetwood Mac, Dixie Chicks, Smashing Pumpkins have all done a version of this song… I still like the original the most… so here enjoy.

Landslide

I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
’till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, I’ve been afraid of changing
’cause I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I’m getting older too

Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down

If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe the landslide will bring it down
