I walk this earth always with a song in my heart.
While the song may change, the music never ceases. Lately, when the world is silent, Stevie Wonder and his piano sing to me.
“You are the sunshine of my life.”
Why? Why this song? Why right now?
I am not one to turn the dial to easy listening. I was born long after the seventies waved their funky goodbye. But still my mind has pulled this song from the dark recesses of my haphazard collection to spin over. I’m sure it has its reasons.
Perhaps my subconscious knows better than I what it is I need in this moment. A piano and a crooner and a happy thought.
“That’s why I’ll always stay around.”
My father has cancer. Prostate. Low stage. Noninvasive. Survivable. But still. It’s uncomfortable to see Death wave at us, even from this distance. And all this comes at a time when my relationship with my father is in shambles.
“You are the apple of my eye.”
I don’t know what the right thing to do is. And I don’t want anyone’s advice. I want it to be gone, but here it is, and I must find my way.
“Forever you’ll stay in my heart.”
Perhaps my subconscious knows better than I.
“You are the sunshine of my life.”
