Somewhere in the 90’s, for a couple of years, I couldn’t cry. I couldn’t feel anything, like someone had flipped a switch on me, cutting me off from my emotions. But when I heard this song - it was so sad, but still hopeful - a wave of sadness and joy welled up in me, nearly knocking me over in surprise. When the flute came in at the end, I cried for the first time in I-didn’t-know-how-long. I didn’t know why, I didn’t care. I just knew I could feel again, that I was ready to face my sometimes-overwhelming emotion. And I felt alive, like I hadn’t in so long.
And until my body learned how to let it all out again, she did it for me.
And until my body learned how to let it all out again, she did it for me.
But that first day - It was one of the most beautiful moments I’ve ever experienced.
