Insight To Chaos

I woke up to James Taylor this morning.  Really, I was only dozing at that point, but somehow his serenade is what brought me to coherence.  “When you’re down, and you’re troubled, and you need a helping hand, I’ll come running…”  I smiled.  I contemplated, briefly, what old Jim what was telling me – do I have a friend or should I be that friend?  No matter, I decided it was both.  I smiled again.

Later on this morning, a different radio station played “Fire and Rain.”  I chuckled, wondering if the universe might be sending me signs through old folk songs.  Why not?  That’s what music does, right?  Speaks to your soul, answering your questions, giving words to your feelings…and all to a catchy beat.  If anything, it is at least a kindred spirit.

Sometimes I wish it were that simple.  Communication can get tripped up so easily.
