Lyrical Friday

My commute this morning took me a record 98 minutes in rainy, messy weather. With plenty of time at my disposal, I explored several listening options: NPR, audio book (Knives at Dawn, about the 2009 Bocuse d’Or cooking competition), and then music. I busted out the Indigo Girls’ Nomads Indians Saints, an awesome album and an underrated one, in my opinion. These lyrics jumped out at me from the end of the song “Hand Me Downs” and I wanted to share:

Give me hope, give me hope

That emptiness brings fullness

And loss of love brings wholeness

To us all

I am hoping precisely that. Sending all of you weekend love.
