I feel you nudging me to meditate all day. Not yet. I am walking downstairs to prepare dinner. I put my cell phone in my back pocket. A sound comes forth from it. It’s a song, “(Just Like) Starting Over” by John Lennon. I don’t normally listen to this song but here it is playing on my phone without provocation. What??? I looked up the lyrics and it’s as if you are speaking to me in song.
(Just Like) Starting Over by John Lennon Our life together is so precious together We have grown, we have grown Although our love is still special Let's take a chance and fly away Somewhere alone It's been too long since we took the time No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly But when I see you darling It's like we both are falling in love again It'll be just like starting over Starting over Everyday we used to make it love Why can't we be making love nice and easy It's time to spread our wings and fly Don't let another day go by my love It'll be just like starting over Startin' over Why don't we take off alone Take a trip somewhere far, far away We'll be together all alone again Like we used to in the early days Well, well, well darling It's been too long since we took the time No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly But when I see you darling It's like we both are falling in love again It'll be just like starting over Starting over, Look out Our life together Is so precious together We have grown, mmh we have grown Although our love still is special Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere Starting over (over and over and over) Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Lennon John Winston / Lennon John (Just Like) Starting Over (Stripped Down Mix, 2010) lyrics © Lenono Music
You’re nudging me again. Do it before the wine, I sense, but it’s too late. I’ve already had a glass. I try to meditate anyway. This time, the door is beneath me. It opens and I lower into dark space with stars and I’m floating, floating, floating… until I fall asleep.
