listening to a familiar song, i heard the words correctly for the first time: "heal her soul, carry her..."
and i cried hard because my soul has been feeling somewhat worn and incomplete lately. i call it moods, but i think it's bigger and truer than moods.
so i took my tears on a walk up to our trees at the top of the hill, and i stood and listened to the trees ache and groan in the wind. they cry freely, the way i imagine i would cry if i didn't always choke it back with a clenched jaw. so i listened, and was glad at least to know the real tears were mine.
and i remembered once when i was younger having spent a good while looking for a lost calf in the woods, only to realize it was the trees that were crying.
i can't think of a better place for a good cry. i'll pray healing over your soul...
what is the song?

Posted by: steph at February 24, 2005 03:25 PMfreedom to cry, groan, and weep is something I wish I had more often.... I understand what you mean about choking it back.
so, that song line sounds really familiar..... I'm sure I'm not even close, but can I guess? is it a Sting or U2 song?
monica and steph, it is "carry me ohio" by sun kil moon.
and monica, it is hard to cry honestly and freely, but it feels really good when i let myself.
