Life Savers?

Can a song save a life?

Maybe.

Maybe sometimes we need a nudge in a shoreward direction.

Maybe sometimes we need a life jacket. Someone else’s shared experience cloaked in a melody that passes ghost-like through the screaming anguish of our thoughts to the quieter waters deep within. The place where we can breathe for a moment. Just long enough to build up a little strength. Just long enough to carry on.

Just long enough to discover that if we can overcome once, we can overcome twice.

Maybe a song can do that sometimes.

I’d like to think so.
