And just when you feel that you are falling and you aren’t sure how you will get yourself out of a funk, something happens. A friend calls, someone does something kind and it means everything. I was contacted by Dr. Paul Wong who sent me a poem that he had written about that very subject. How does one keep going? How does one find joy amidst sadness and grief. He asked me if I would work with him to create a theme song for his upcoming conference on personal meaning. I had met Dr. Wong years earlier at a conference that I attended with my “Honey”.

So we met and I took some of his other poems and writings and we created a theme song for the conference. I loved this song so much, that I asked Dr. Wong, if I could make a few changes and create my own version to include my belief in the healing power of music. The power of a song to heal a broken heart and to take us out of our depths. Dr.Wong had the line “we are made of stardust” and our souls “can reach beyond the stars” and those lines resonated deeply for me given my interest in astrophysics and my work as a healer. We all must dig deep to find what we are truly made of, to “hear that small voice whisper” to our forgotten souls and give us hope.
