Removing a negative element by understanding
Comment
First off, Thank you Charlie, great video! It is so great to see and hear so many differing genres and ideas on this site! The sharing inspires me to branch out to new avenues of investigation spiritually and musically :)
I am posting this video for a couple of reasons. First, the sharing that everyone has been doing to support one another is so beautiful and it reminded me of this song. It is my way of saying "as brothers [and sisters] we will stand and hold your hand...you are not alone in this."
Second, because I sang this song to my son (when he was in my belly and I did not know who, or what gender, he would be in this world, but I wanted him to have a knowing of the love and support he would always receive from me). I was the stage manager for a play last year and a gentlemen sang this as his audition piece and sang the last line so mournfully that it made me, for the first time, feel a sadness (negative thought) about the song. Prior to his signing it I saw the last line "I cannot move the mountains for you" as a statement of "you have your journey and I cannot interfere"...I wanted my son to be supported, yet have his own beautiful life (which is how I raise him now). After the auditions were over I asked him if he would mind my asking what the song meant to him (I always find it beautiful when a song is interpreted differently with each person and their experience, and even the same person with new experience). He told me of his brother whom had died of a drug overdoes and he felt such a profound sadness that he was unable to "move the mountains" to save him. It was then that I knew why the Universe connected us. I told him, as gently as possible, you supported him and loved him (and you still do), but it was not your mountain to move. We talked for a couple of hours after that and we are very good friends now. I have had so many people give me support in the way that the Universe gave him support through me and I just wanted to share this beautiful song to remind us all that we move our own mountains, but with the loving support of those around us...I am holding all of your hands in love and light!
