This song is somewhat spiritual for me, and anyone that knows me well can most likely guess why. Besides the obvious lupine reasons, this song brilliantly and beautifully paints the abstract picture, in the simplest of colors (blues and greens and grays) and in the blink of an eye (more like a reel of images), a marriage becoming a family. Breathing with the lungs of nature, the woods and the mountains, and the sea, this song melds together from all cardinal directions and embraces all the elements in describing the act of a woman becoming a mother, and a man becoming a father.
This song captures exactly how I feel about parenthood. It's something life and perception-changing, and something so uniquely beautiful that it is nature's alone to achieve. It happens in its own time, when stars nestle silently into place and caressing, gripping winds decide it is to be so.
With all of the beautiful new babies coming in to my family, I thought it fitting. :) Congratulations to all of you. You are remarkable.
And though I'm not quite there yet, I believe that our babies wait for us in the sea. Swimming in the sea until we know what to call them now.
