Stevie Ray said it best when he got stranded

With nobody there to truly understand it

Looking down into an abyss I fall on my knees 

Where I find Robert Johnson and his frown tells me

We're alone in the desert and the choice is free

He welcomes me to the center of the Bridge of In Between

A wholesome look into the treasure of what can be

I am but a pebble, a lowly dust of sand

Stevie and Bobby both smile with their eyes as they take me by the hand

I'm standing at the Crossroads baby

Rising sun going down

I'll be here at the Crossroads

Rising sun going down

The rainbow bridge is opening baby

My time to go is now

I can't stand looking back So on with the show

I've healed my past Now it's time to grow

Crossroads blues, baby, I remember what I know

As I listen to this song I feel so much more in love with the idea that unconditional and eternal love is possible because pure intention is a beautiful thing. Some may call me naïve. Sometimes I ask my own self, "Are you blind?" The answer to that question is a firm yes. Because love is blind. And if love wasn't blind we'd never take risks for it. 

My goal is to believe love is possible but I don't need to fall for it. I can stand tall in it. I can have all of my wild instincts intact and not become prey to other's intentions. I can let my intuitions guide me and accept other people's behavior as the answer to my questions about them. And then I can accept those gifts of clarity when I see the truth about the situation and make steps to change the predictable future. Clarity is such an important gift. When things are crystal clear and I make the decision to right some of my wrongs I can re-write some old songs. Even give them new meaning.
