Write to stay alive 4

Write 4 begins where 3 ended, Mark Isham’s With Us Alone.
This playlist expresses the birth and death of all things.
It is both celebration and mourning.
Hope tempered by reality.
Mostly it’s acknowledgement.
Acknowledgement of the singularity and isolation of life.
The specific experience that will never be shared.
The secrets that will never be revealed.
Affections never felt.
Enthusiasm never extinguished.
The completeness in knowing that no matter what, my life is my own.
Regardless of where I am taken, and where I take myself, I am both proud and sorrowful.
Love, exhaustion, hope, frailty, life and death, all at once.
Truly life is bitterness, and reward beyond imagining.
