Is Your Love Big Enough?

View of the Capitol from Ironman finish line
It was a gorgeous day today, so I tried to balance my indoor and outdoor activities. I went to yoga, spent some time at a coffee shop doing some reading for my class, relaxed at home. And then I got outside: did a little weeding, swept out the garage, and made a plan to meet my daughter on bikes and head downtown to do some Ironman spectating.

The scene downtown was inspiring. So many athletes putting their bodies to the test. In previous years, we've been at the finish later in the day, but today we got to see the lead male runner heading for the homestretch and watch the lead female go through the chute. Wow!

Today's race was all the more momentous coming on the 15 year anniversary of the fall of the twin towers, which is why I chose this song off of President Obama's Summer Spotify playlist to mark the day:

Found myself in a second
I found myself in a secondhand guitar
Never thought it would happen
But I found myself in a secondhand guitar

So I've just got to know
I truly have to know
So you've got to let me know

Is your love big enough for what's to come?

Got so hot in the city
That I forgot everything I was looking for
Made my way to the dance floor
And I danced 'til I wasn't drunk anymore

So I've just got to know
I truly have to know
So you've got to let me know

Is your love big enough for what's to come?
Baby, let me know
Is your love big enough for past is done?
Baby, let me know

Underground, underground
With the friends I've found
Friends I've found

Underground, underground
With the friends I've found
Friends I've found

I scream, I scream on Second Avenue
I scream on Second Avenue

Is your love big enough for what's to come?
Baby, let me know
Is your love big enough for past is done?
Won't you let me know?

Is your love big enough for what's to come?
Is your love big enough, big enough?
Is your love big enough for what's to come?
Won't you let me know?

Is your love big enough for past is done?
Baby, let me know
Is your love big enough for what's to come?
Is your love big enough for what's to come?

It's a question we all need to ask ourselves.

I know my answer...
