The Need For Connection
I recently showed the movie “The Warrior” to some of my family while in Hawaii. It’s a powerful film that demonstrates just how much we need to hear and to know we are loved. That is something that so many people know, but so few people act upon.
The song I’ve uploaded (The National – About Today) is a beautiful yet somber song that is such a great example of how much we need to keep connected, particularly with those we should be the closest with. So many marriages are falling apart because people are becoming too wrapped up in their own lives/interests to connect with their spouses. So many aren’t even getting married because they are too focused on their own lives and goals to take the time to simply connect. And so life slips away.
People say you won’t know what you got until it’s gone. But the truth is what we’ve got can often already be gone in our hearts and minds without us even being aware.
It’s a somber song, but definitely worth the listen. And please take some time today to connect with those who you know should be your top priority. May every marriage, family, and close friendship only grow in intimacy and strength.
Blessings!
The National – About Today
Today you were far away
and I didn’t ask you why
What could I say
I was far away
You just walked away
and I just watched you
What could I sayHow close am I to losing you
Tonight you just close your eyes
and I just watch you
slip awayHow close am I to losing you
Hey, are you awake
Yeah I’m right here
Well can I ask you about todayHow close am I to losing you
How close am I to losing
