Thank You Stevie

I thought I would go into the weekend sharing this beautiful Fleetwood Mac song .  Landslide was written by Stevie Nicks for the 1975 album Fleetwood Mac.  37 years ago.  Do you believe it?  I've always been a fan of their music, but I didn't really connect with the words of this song until more recently.

Took this love and I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
And can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Oh oh I don't know, oh I don't know

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older I'm getting older too
Yes I'm getting older too, so

I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I, I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too oh yes
I'm getting older too

So, take this love, take it down
Oh if you climb a mountain and you turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring you down, down
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills

Well maybe the landslide will bring you down
Well well, the landslide will bring you down
                               

 I don't know where that young woman found the insight to ask herself the questions she asked.  Can the child within her survive and can she handle the seasons of her life.   I know I didn't look forward in my life like that.   That's how an artist thinks.   When I came to a crossroad in my life, it was never so poetic.  I think there were tears and whining involved.

Looking back,  as I've gotten older, I see there have been many peaks and valleys, ( I like flatland, no peaks and valleys please) but I have managed to avoid that darn landslide.  Maybe it's that time has made me bolder too.

Gotta Love Her

  This pretty much says it all.
