'And Nothing Else Compares'

Traveling with our two beautiful, brilliant daughters, feeling so blessed, but struggling with next steps and college realities for "middle" class American, Brooklyn-based girls. Our other children, grown, living here and far away, as we  take our stutter steps to and fro, with our own  inevitable movement off stage and far away. This tune by Coldplay has been rattling around in my consciounesness since I heard it over 10 years ago, but now, movement, shared dreams, private myths, public secrets, it finally made so much sense, simply hit me dead on, and it takes all I have not to weep with joy and sublime sadness.
