Might Have Had It Coming (Track #4 of Seven Women)
I start this piece with a quote from "To A Mouse" by Gaelic poet Robert Burns. The poem really doesn't have anything to do with the song, I just have always liked the 'of mice and men' line. Ah, the blessings bestowed upon the fortunate few.
Again, I expand on the theme of a man who, as he ages, begins to question the wisdom of a well-lived life.
Is the winner really the one who dies with the most toys?
Who is a winner?
What is won?
What is the value of a scattered, shiny mess?
Narcissism, greed, impatience: These are absent in the smiling, wrinkled faces of wisdom. Remember . . .the hand of Grace is ever-poised to slap your face.
Just as a side: Breaking these songs down is a little, well . . .awkward. I really don't like talking about my work. I just lay it out there and let the cards fall where they may. But ultimately my dissection is ~~ therapeutic. Again, please consider these my daughters with an open heart.
