the long and winding road

I heard it at Peggy's cabin on the 4th of July. For some reason, it really struck me and I started crying. Sister nancy really sweetly just held me while I cried. I thought it was because I had to leave them all and go home, and we had bonded so sweetly, but then a few days later I saw a magazine ad for a car, and the headline was "The Long and Winding Road," and it caught my eye, so I think there's a message there for me. I don't remember the words, so I looked them up on lyrics.com. Here they are:


The long and winding road
that leads to your door
will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door

The wild and windy night
that the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
let me know the way

Many times I've been alone
and many times I've cried
Any way you'll never know
the many ways I've tried

But still they lead me back
to the long winding road
You left me standing here
a long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
lead me to your door

But still they lead me back
to the long winding road
You left me standing here
a long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
lead me to your door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


So then I ask, "What's the message for me?" and it feels like Spirit, and how I'm in the process of finding my way "home." "Don't leave me waiting here lead me to your door." Wow - as we walk through the door of transformation into the New, I'm forever humbled and awed by the clues and messages that are all around us, just waiting for us to notice and acknowledge them. Does everything mean something? I think so, even if we don't always KNOW what it means to us. Everything just IS, when we're in the center of our lives, looking out at the rest of the world. And has my life been a long and winding road? Most definitely. Most definitely.
