That song is so significant for me. As someone who has spent so much of their life trying to combat fear, (Death), I find the wonderful thing about the process of singing this extraordinary song lies, for me, toward the end where, having travelled through the song, we reach the lines: "Where forests rise to block the light that keeps a traveller sane. I'll challenge them with flashes from a brighter time" When I sing it to others, I look around and see the faces of good people. In that moment, I don't feel so alone. The dark forest is challenged. I am suddenly present in a brighter time. Thank you Bob, Catherine and every one I've had the personal healing of being granted the opportunity to sing it with you, Love Anita On 20/12/2012, Bob.Muller@fluor.com wrote: > Catherine, > > Thanks for your beautiful response - maybe recent events are what made my > listening today that much more intense, even though there are MANY things > I will NEVER understand, let alone think that I do.
