tim's Bits and Pieces - 75. Wandering

Would that I could carry your burden with you, even for just a few paces.

Grab this rope

Tie it tight 'round your waist

We won’t let you slip away

I may not know the way to go

Or how to help               

But I’ll always travel beside you

Like so many others

Who don't want you to get lost

Keep to the road, boy. We're all here for you. This too shall pass. 

If there is a light

You can't always see

And there is a world

We can't always be

If there is a dark

Now we shouldn't doubt

And there is a light

Don't let it go out

-U2 "Song for Someone"

These lyrics have spoken to me loudly, ever since my son revealed his struggles with his own darkness. 

There is always light, even when we can't see. It's there, hiding behind the shadows we've created for ourselves.

Your words are moving. They're powerful. They're the tinder that will ignight your light when you're ready tim. 

I know embraces cannot heal pain and anguish. Virtual ones drift by in the wind.

When you can't look on the bright side, i will sit with you in the dark.

I'll still be with you 

I hope that you know there are many of us who would take on some of the dark if we could. Further, I hope knowing that you mean something to others helps.
