Wind Beneath My Wings

Yes......I will never be tired of hearing this song. In the cool quiet morning, this is indeed beautiful music for my ears and for many other ears around the world.

We thank the artist Bette Midler for this opportunity to 'experience the divine'. That's the name of the album. The song is a reminder of what true friendship is about and, more importantly, its value. 'Wind Beneath My Wings' is timeless, nostalgic. Although this great song is a distant memory, you can still get the CD at various stores.

Given the choice, I rather have one true friend than a hundred casual acquaintances. Consider yourself blessed if you do have. Where married couples quarrel and fight to go their separate ways, true friends withstood the test of time and distance. Is this a reflection of the 'affairs of the heart' in different forms?

Love is great. Love is beautiful. Love conquers all. Yet love is such a difficult issue for many to comprehend. They say if you love someone let that someone go, for where the heart is sincere and willing it will find its way back home. But as much as we would like to believe in that, the truth is there are those who treat love lightly, there are those who treat friendship deeply and there are many others in between to blur the line between friendship and love. So if the divorce statistics keep climbing, then wouldn't it be wise to advise lovers "please stay forever friends, don't get married"?

Sometimes it's the heart afraid of giving that never learns to love.
