I talked yesterday with an old friend, someone I've known since college. We see each other only once in a while, but I always enjoy our visits. He's very smart. Back in the day, I used to think of him as "the God of Music." To say he is gifted doesn't even scratch the surface. He is one of the finest accompanists I have ever worked with. He asked me about my husband, and I reminded him that we split up, almost 2 years ago. He nodded and said, oh, yes, I remember now. They had been roommates, a long before I met either of them. He said he figured that our differences in values would eventually be a wedge. He was right. It was quite possibly the most honest conversation I have ever had about it, and completely lacked the anger or hurt usually associated with the ending of a relationship.
And I've been thinking about love a lot. About where it comes from, who has it, who doesn't, how to get it and keep it. What my beliefs about love are. I'm inclined to think that love is everywhere, and if you are open to it, you'll see it. I just wrote a song that I think sums it up.
Love is Everywhere

It’s in the melody of your favorite song,
The harmony as others sing along,
It’s in the voices of the choir loud and strong.
Love is everywhere
It’s in the soaring obligato of the horn
It’s in the slow and steady heartbeat of the drum
It’s in the hollow sadness of the requiem
Love is everywhere
Love is Everywhere Love is Everywhere
You don’t have to look far to find it, cuz it is everywhere
Love is Everywhere Love is Everywhere
You don’t have to look far to find it, no.
It’s in each work of artistry, finely wrought
It’s in lessons of the classroom, wisely taught
And in the many things we once knew, but forgot.
Love is everywhere
It’s in the picture wall, it’s in the frame,
It’s in the target that you shoot at, it's the aim,
And in the space between the letters of your name.
Love is everywhere
Love is Everywhere Love is Everywhere
You don’t have to look far to find it cuz it is everywhere
Love is Everywhere Love is Everywhere
You don’t have to look far to find it, no.
It’s in the faces of people that you meet
It’s the joy in you, the joy in me greets.
