In chorus last night we worked on an African song "Woyaya", which has a great syncopated 6/8 rhythm and lyrics I love:
We are going
Heaven knows how we are going
But we know we will
We will get there
Heaven knows how we will get there
But we know we will
The road may be hard
The way muddy and rough
But we'll get there
Heaven knows how we will get there
But we know we will
I thought of Egypt, Sudan, and other places on that great continent. Our mother home. So much turmoil, but even more endurance. I'm inspired.
I think when you take a path, you don't take it because you have it all planned out and know what will happen along the way, or even at the end, you just trust the path. Surprises, detours, the difficulty are all unknown. But all you really have to do is in this moment, put one foot in front of the other. Walking feels good on the the feet, it means direction, purpose. I think sometimes I forget that planning is really not the essential ingredient. Determination is.
