Tried To Be True

Early this morning, as my kids, my sister, and two of her kids slumbered, I got up and went to the 6:30am led Ashtanga practice. It's day 89 of my 90 day intensive, and I won't be able to go tomorrow since we'll be away at the farm overnight. During the 90 days, I took 50 classes and practiced yoga for nearly 70 hours, and I definitely feel a shift in my practice thanks to the increased level of discipline.

Accompanying me as I awoke this morning was a song, courtesy of the internal ipod, that seems to give voice to a part of me that appears to have some lingering questions about the relationship I recently gave up:

Did you try to be true?
What separates me from you?
What separates me from you now?

Did you borrow the soul,
The soul that you sell now?
What does your conscience tell you?
Where are the demons
Of your desire?
Why does my love destroy you?

Did you try to be true?
What separates me from you?
What separates me from you now?

I said I tried to be true.
What separates me from you.
I said I tried, tried to be true.
What separates me from you.
What separates me from you now?

Did you try to be true?
What separates me from you?
What separates me from you now?

So where is the fame,
Where is the fortune?
Where is the world that denies you?
Who is to blame,
When my heart finally forfeits
To a road that will only misguide you?

The Indigo Girls have long been my go to girl band for belting out a number with gusto, and this post Thanksgiving tune is no exception...
