Let Go Of That Weight You've Been Carrying

I think that the conscious life, as a journey, should never be travelled alone.
Not for the great part of it anyways.
Perhaps during certain bits of the journey, like when you got to go pee or something like that.

The burden of everyday life can be halved simply by sharing it.
A problem shared is a problem halved.
Sharing a problem is not an easy thing for everyone.
I don't mean work, masqueraded as problems, which can be delegated.
I mean problems that cannot unravel.
A Gordian knot in your life.

A partner, someone who may not understand completely but is willing to go the distance.
There are many things in life that cannot be controlled.
Trying to manipulate them in order to achieve some aims may seem feasible.
But like the rock of Sisyphus, it always comes tumbling back down.

Sometimes all we need to learn is to let go of that weight that we've been carrying.

Blue Sky Blues

Blue sky,
When you gonna learn to rain?
And let yourself go blue for once
And let go of that weight
You've been carrying
In this house,
No one goes to sleep for days
It's like were working on a mountainside
Trying not to slide
Into the ocean

I can take care of you
But only if you want
I'm strong enough to carry you
Across the icy lake
Across the icy lake
But I can't fight your blues
'Cause I know I'll lose
What's left of my mind
I can't win
But for you I will try
My baby blue

My mountain
Is hidden in a pile of trees
And she's the one I'll have to climb
If I ever wanna see
Over the ocean
Blue sky
When you gonna learn to rain?
And let yourself go blue for once
And let go of that pain?

I can take care of you
The way you'd like to feel
Underneath the riverbed
Across the icy lake
Across the icy lake
But I can't fight your blues
'Cause I know I'll lose
What's left of my mind
I can't win
But for you I will try
For you
My baby blue
