More Than This
Facing mortality
I have a new favorite song. And I love the vibe of it so much, I wanted to share it with y’all. It’s called More Than This by Marc Scibilia. I’ve included the video at the end of this piece. The chorus, in particular, hits me hard. Perhaps because I love dancing so much and as far as I’m concerned — EVERY song begs a dancer.
But the bigger picture is the reflection. As we get older, we understand more and more. We are mortal. Our friends are mortal. Our lovers are mortal. Our family is mortal. As we look around, we notice that everything that lives…dies.
I know for myself, when I was younger, I was so deep down in it — I just survived. And the funniest part, I took my survival for granted. I’d go to bed each night, exhausted from the fight. But not once did I ever expect that I wouldn’t wake up the next morning and do it all over again.
These days, I understand. One day, one night — destiny will close the book on my life. But this song makes me wonder — perhaps when that happens, no one writes The End on that last page. Maybe, just maybe…there’s more to this.
Namaste.
