Hole in the world

My life has been going pretty good. I feel like I'm getting back on my feet - no longer floating in a world of newness. A routine is being established, I guess. I'm becoming more comfortable with life. It's still exciting, and I'm loving it (no, I'm not infringing on any McD's copyright!), but it's also easier.

It's not this way for everyone, tho. I'm aware of a few friends who're struggling with life. Their worlds have been battered and beaten - some seem to have lost hope, some seem so confused. As I was pondering on these friends of mine, I was reminded of a relatively new song by one of my favorite bands, The Eagles.

Here's the song:

Hole In The World

There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

They say that anger is just love disappointed.
They say that love is just a state of mind,
But all this fighting over who will be anointed.
Oh how can people be so blind

There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

Oh they tell me there's a place over yonder,
Cool water running through the burning sand.
Until we we learn to love one another
We never reach the promise land.

There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow......
