giant

oh! i just realized the art that will be next to
this post when it first goes up is inspired
from a melissa etheridge song! (see post below!)

i tried to find a good link on youtube to include here
and i couldn't do it. there were only two and neither
one is what i wanted to share....

if you care, maybe you can find it on yahoo music or
whatever you use......

it's a song from her album, lucky.

and i will always remember the first time i heard it.

i was waiting for my buddy who is now my guy.
he was late. and i stood in my studio just
listening to this song. i remember standing as i
was getting ready to shut things down, but i just
kept standing captivated. and i listened over and over
again. i believe i listened five times in a row.
no kidding.

i stood there with chills running up and down me.

the song is called giant.
and it's about a woman who couldn't be put down.

at the time, i was struggling really big time.
it was the hardest time i've ever known.
and if i was ever gonna crumble, it would have
been then.
several times i came really really close to just
completely crumbling.

but i didn't.

and this song was talking to me.

and what freaked me out was she would refer to herself
as 'we.'

at this time, i was just beginning to work with the
different parts of myself. i was very close to someone
who had multiple personalities and we would talk a lot
about the different parts of people. it just fascinated
me.

and here, in this song, she was calling herself 'we'
at certain times.

i remember when i first noticed, i had to play it again
just to hear that.

i listened to that song again today.

and i remembered that first nite i ever heard it.

i've traveled quite a distance from that nite......
but i think that that song is one i need to hear
every now and again just to remember my strength.

if you're in need of a strength booster, you might
want to check it out.....

we're all giants......
we just have to remember that.
