We Fall Down but We Get Up

Donny McClurkin has a great song, We Fall Down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKtERvKRP7k The song is at the moment one of my go to all the time songs. Each time I catch my thoughts slipping toward darkness and bitterness I do my best to grab my Iphone and blast the soulful inspiring understanding that this gospel guys croons.

We fall down but we get up
We fall down but we get up
We fall down but we get up, oh yes
For a saint is just a sinner who fell down
But we couldn't stay there and got up, sing that
We fall down but we get up
We fall down but we get up
We fall down but we get up
For a saint is just a sinner who fell down and got up
Get back up again
Get back up again
Get back up again

I love all kinds of music and get inspired by everything with an appealing tone and good lyrics. There is definitely divinity in music. Almost single handedly it can help me change a very hurting moment into great joy and/or contentment. Like the moments I think of not being with my two year old son. I am sure he is fine with his other mother, but as a woman who is also his mother, I want him always with me. I grieve the loss of our constant contact much more than any other loss. Even though I have my boy often the arrangement is subpar. You know, just the mention of not seeing my baby is enough to send me down the rabbit hole. It happens just like that, so I feel the tears begin to well up, take a deep breath, send him tremendous love and God and do my best to refocus and recommit to staying present. I know that I am not alone, even when there are times I feel more lonesome than I can find words to describe. I guess connect with the world through the internet comes in real handy at moments like that. Just as my Pandora app plays Mad World and I smile at the comforting coincidence.
