For me, when I think about poetry that pulls those two experiences together and braids them in such a lush way, and I definitely feel that. I wrote a song called Blessing or A Curse and it was the title of an album, actually. And in Blessing or Curse, I I struggle with I struggle with this feeling all the time. It was more about unrequited love, but it definitely dealt with this. Oh, I get it so much
Deborah. Yes, it's an obad. It's French. A-U-B-A-D-E. But I really wanted mostly to reply with thanks to you for posting the song. It's really wonderful to hear some of your own original work here in music. I appreciate it so much. And, yes, that's exactly what we're talking about, is not the heart or the mind fixed on a singular idea or a singular thought, but in mid thought, as it were, between things. Thank you
