This song is so deeply empowering. The lyrics express that the suffering of life, the darkness, loneliness and trauma must be faced with bravery and faith in a 'reason' for it all. When you realise that this is your life, you can't have someone else's, you have no choice but to own your troubles and try your best, it stops you adding on to your torment by thinking 'why me?'....the answer is a mystery, like so many things. All we can do is surrender to it. The song speaks to me on so many levels, accepting suffering is just one, being in the moment is another. As a person prone to perpetual longing, for the past, for an imagined future, for a could-have-been....there is so much wisdom in letting go and focusing hard on what is in front of me right at this moment, seeing the gift in that, and trusting that I'm on the path I'm supposed to be on.
