Music seems to attach itself to the different parts and
pieces of my life. Songs trigger memories and maybe even preserve those
memories for me. The soundtrack, I suppose, to moments in my time. They bring
events, people, and emotions alive again for me…even if only in my mind.
There are a couple of songs that have traveled with me over
time. Flexing their meaning to the changing path of my life and
sticking with me. They remind me of how valuable each turn on the path is.
Kenny Loggins has long been my poet. Long ago he and Jim Messina teamed up to create the song that I have traveled along ever since.
"Watching the River Run" - Loggins and Messina, 1974
Although he died in 1981, Harry Chapin is still my storyteller. It's liking getting lost in a good book when he sings his stories. His "All My Life's a Circle" song puts life in perspective "from sunrise to sundown" and through the seasons of life.
