March to the beat of your own drum…who cares if you might be called “crazy”…. One of the pluses of aging, care less what others might say about you 😉👌🏻

It took me a while but I needed to write a short response to this song. Thank you for posting his song.

You don’t have to climb mountains or walk on the moon…

Ben Rector in Dream On

You Don’t Have To

In these long weeks of grief I have

been unable to summon enough

energy to accomplish much of

anything. I lack imagination

needed for creative endeavors.

Rising from bed is all I can

manage. I fear that prolonged

idleness will become a habit,

that I will never again feel a

spark of excitement. And then

I heard you sing... You don’t

have to climb mountains or walk

on the moon… and I knew in

that moment that it is enough

for me, for now, to draw one

breath and then another.

Oh, Marie! Thank you for sharing your response to Ben Rector. Yes, it is enough. YOU ARE ENOUGH, just as you are. May comfort and consolation visit you in your grief from many directions. And may you be a sponge.
