Velvet Sun

Posted Thu Mar 4, 2010 in

I’m winding down for the day. It was another long day — I guess they all are long days. I woke about 0530; kinda late for me. I got started on cleaning up stuff and then it was time for the office. SSDD I guess…

We took Young Son out for his birthday supper tonight. He’s 19-years old today. My baby is pretty-well grown up.

Now I’m listening to music, reading, and writing a bit before I call it a night. I’m listening to some Shawn Mullins, in particular Beneath the Velvet Sun. It has a couple of my favorite songs on it.

One of them is Amy’s Eyes. This is a song that was an anthem when I suffered through my clinical depression some years ago. There is a line from the song, …and if I could see through Amy’s eyes, chances are I would realize, somehow she sees bluer skies than I do… That line still resonates for me, because I believe at the time that those closest to me did see bluer skies than I did. It was all I could do to hang on to them.

But, I did… and the song still works for me.
