Popping in...

....to say I love you all. Here are two posts you must read: This one of Alexa's... And this one of SaBaM's. She's leaving us for six months and I don't know what to do. Actually I just don't know what to do, period. Don't know what's next. It's time to plan a new adventure. I reactivated this wee web corner for the purpose of sharing some music. Ophie and I have been music-writing-up-a-storm lately and I'm aching to share it with my longsuffering readers who read my thoughts in blog-form for so long. I thought that perhaps a few of you might be up for listening to thoughts by the same author in musical (more or less) form. And then this silly sore throat came and I can't croak a word. Never undervalue your voice. It's crippling to go without. =P Here's a little something, though. Although it was inspired by a particular incident, "brothers" is used gender-inclusively (it just had a better ring to it than "band of siblings" and I'm used to gender-inclusivity from Spanish so yeah). The thrill of breathing is enough to make me want to scream /We're gonna get soaked in those uncharted waters over there /And there are sacred things still alive on this earth for us to see /I'm shaking, now, just looking ahead //Because I love you all, and my kin love me/ You hold me in your smiles and I know/ that if a lass has a band of brothers on her side/ she's pretty much good to go.// We've got each others' backs/ Am I pulling you or are you pulling me?/ It doesn't matter cause the strength of two is three/ And when I'm about to fall I think about the look you'd give me/ It feels so full just to rest in your laughter once again
