“Did you start my life?”

Good on you for asking this question of whether one’s life really starts and ends with every relationship? I don’t know. But it sure does keep us warmed up and ready for more.

Within the limits of randomness for events in life (a hopeless defense mechanism in my case), this verse resonates with me. It’s always the pragmatic side of our mind that initiates the ‘chicken or egg’ question among us. Cause and effect are arguably some of the most exhaustive arguments we go thru in life, but when the impact is to our favor, we can rest with a smile on our face. Especially if that favor ends in love. And we all have had someone or something that symbolized the inner warmth and passionate feelings of love that fueled the melting of two hearts into one. Regardless of how recent or long the time has passed, we recognize and appreciate that first spark with another. Especially if those sparks ignited a lasting fire between you both. So, that thought “kindled” up a great song from my past, “Keep the Fire”, by Kenny Loggins from way back in 1980. Here are part of the lyrics:

“There are those who can foresee

Where we will go

All the future

I don't really want to know

Only that you'll be here with me

While the embers still glow

We'll be safe 'til tomorrow

Keep the fire burnin' tonight

See just what comes into sight

Don't take forever

Take it through the night

And believe the sun

Will rise with the dawn

That's all you need to go on

For tonight

Just keep the fire burnin' bright.”

What a beautiful and loving tribute to Sarah, my two absolute favorite people on social media who bring me so much joy and comfort on dark, trying days. I love your love differently than I love my own love but no less spectacular. Cheers Sarah! Happiest of (belated but continuing) birthdays to you! And to you Tyler for recognizing and celebrating this wonderful woman. 🫶🏻
