For some reason, I've had Shania Twain's song "The Woman in Me" stuck in my head for the past few days. Not the whole song, just the verses. They're resonating with me and I love that music is one of those powerful healing tools.
"I'm not always strong/And sometimes I'm even wrong/But I win when I choose/And I can't stand to lose/But I can't always be/The rock that you see/When the nights get too long/And I just can't go on..."
"When the world wants too much/And it feels cold and out of touch..."
The chorus resonates with that intrinsically female place inside me that would like to have someone "to run to" when everything gets too hard. Someone to be there when you need a safe place to land when your wings get clipped and you plummet back to Earth. It would be a beautiful thing to have someone know you, accept who you are, and love you for the person that they see.
And I would really like to go to Egypt one day, so the video is one of those things I watch and think, "I can see myself wearing lots of veils and hanging out in mosques in Cairo." Sometimes we need to see and hear our deepest dreams portrayed by others to remember why we continue to endure. One day I will see the pyramids of Giza and Saqqara and visit the Valley of the Kings. Oh, to wander the temples at Karnak and see the great hypostyle hall. But, to see them with someone who loves me and because he loves me is willing to do the things I love...that truly would be the best.
