Ironic how life is sometimes like a circle. It ends where it begins. And all we have left are memories. (Hopefully some interesting ones, along with memories of smiles and laughs.) We can love hard and even befriend, but we can't make some things last that were not meant to be. For if they were meant to be, they would simply be. I have loved hard and I have lost hard. And I will not wait my life away for what is never coming. So I will grab life's memories and choose to live...to start a new course. This song is the epitome of that...looking back over our lives and choosing to recall what is beautiful, not painful. For with pain often comes learning and understanding, and hopefully compassion (even if we faulter often). I do not partically care for Steisand's voice and I hate her politics, but I recall quite fondly when and where this song fit beautifully into my life and held such promise. Nobody can ever accuse me of not loving and of not trying. Remember that...
