This one's for you, Robin, and the lovely woman - La Senora.
It's also for Beck, who smiles upon you both, proudly.
I rather suspect that you could sing it to each other.
Time and distance, as you well know, have no effect on love, because love remembered makes it present again.
This is for your bravery in love, and in life.
Cheers and much love, my friend. We're here for you.
Free In You - Indigo Girls
A hard knock
A cold clock
Ticking off my time
A long look
But no luck Couldn't seem to find
Or unwind
Into peace of mind
While I was trying
A quick glance
A big chance
My heart beat like a drum
I saw you
And I knew
Chances just don't come
Round again
Not like this
First a laugh
Then a kiss
And I'm free in you
I've got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you
The lost time
And self pride
Are my big mistakes
A clear voice
A bad choice
Sounding like an ache
In my day
Not too bad
But too real
To go away
But now I'm free in you
I've got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you
And I don't know
How you show
Such gentle disregard
For the ugly in me
That I see
That for so long
I took so hard
(I took so hard)
And I truly believe
(I truly believe)
That you see the best in me
(That you see the best in me)
I'm in love
We all love
And that thought
Sets me free
Free in you
Got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you
Yes I'm free in you

mamoore - ya' know . . .
Persephone - Lovely to see you around . . .
AtHomePilgrim - No doubt.
And I love the I girls..
fireeyes - Well, giving oneself permission to love is pretty inspiring, I think - so, it's the least I could do.
this is perfect.
You and Robin are so inspiring to me. Your view of love is so free of the gender bullshit that I have lived with. But this is not to make it about me. You both inspire me....with your ability to love, and your ability to express it so freely.
Thank you both for including me via OS in this that you call love. I have loved reading/watching Robin come back to life here on OS. Much love and thanks to the Senora for her part in this as well. What a journey...so glad to be on the sidelines cheering.
Namaste. xox as robin loves to add.
nana - Blessings, man . . . you know it's true.
Kathy - The Indigo Girls are brilliant musically, and lyrically - glad you enjoyed it.
scanner - Just trying to spread the love around . . .
Steve - So true, so very, very true.
JK - Betty, OS wouldn't be the same without you, either. We all learn from each other, no?
Robin - Dude, I'm so glad you were with friends - generally, that's a really good place to be! You'll be in our thoughts and prayers tonight . . . you are loved, my friend.
