Climbed a mountain and I turned around
Landslide is one of those songs that seems to come into my life when I need it: about four years ago when my uncle died of cancer, super mommy blogger Damomma wrote a very touching blog post using the lyrics to talk about her grandmother's death. If a blog could give out hugs, her blog post did just that. I'd link to her post, but she doesn't archive posts older than two years. Frankly when I worked for the not-to-be-named mommy magazine, I didn't really feel like I should be writing for them. I didn't belong in that club. But reading Damomma's posts was a highlight of my job. If I could write anything like Liz, I'd be pretty freakin happy.
Then I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
But the landslide brought it down
I remember listening to this song more than six years ago too, riding the train on my weekend trips to Long Island. I felt like I had to choose between two lives. Or that I was straddling between them.
Oh mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
And now, at another big transition point, tonight's Glee episode (don't judge me, I still refuse to call myself a Gleek) brought me back to this song.
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
I have to.
Well I've been afraid of changing, cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder, children get older
I'm getting older too.
Well I'm getting older too.
Change is good. Right?
