Heavy

I see my therapist about once a month, and yesterday's appointment could not have come at a better time. My therapist is so awesome. She always starts out by saying "What would be helpful to you today?" Such a great question, and yesterday provided the opportunity for me to talk about some of what happened on vacation last week and continue the process of putting myself back together.

I heard this song on Pandora this morning, and it feels apropos of my experience with her:

If you're lost and lonely
Go and figure out why
Take a trip to your dark side
Go on and have a good cry
Cause we're all lonely
Yeah we're all lonely
Together

I want to see your sadness,
I want to share your sins
I want to bleed your blood and
I want to be let in
Don't you just,
Don't we all just
Want to be together

Leave what's heavy,
What's heavy behind
Leave what's heavy,
What's heavy behind

If your face is down
Take a look around
Do your fingers move
Do your lungs inflate
Are you tired are you weary
Of the hidden hate
You've been holding
Yeah

Did you lose that love
Or have you never had it
Are you feeling sad
because you did a bad thing

Leave what's heavy
What's heavy behind
Leave what's heavy
What's heavy behind

Are you feeling fearful brother
Are you feeling fearful sister
The only way to loose
That fearful feeling
Replace it with love that's healing
Are you feeling fearful brother
Are you feeling fearful sister

Leave what's heavy,
What's heavy behind
Leave what's heavy,
What's heavy behind
Leave what's heavy,
What's heavy behind

Yes, Birdtalker, to the extent that I can, I will. And I'm super grateful to my therapist for continuing to be my partner in sorting through past and present experiences in order to move forward with the life I am consciously creating for myself and my kids...
