Somebody

 

She pulls me.  Her voice and personality.  Deeply, she pulls me.  

For 15 years Reba has been one of the select few country artist who has the gravitas to force my attention.  Have I bought albums?  No.  But through the years Reba resonated with something deep in me.  I've never been able to find out why and I don't care to.  The mystery of the why, to me, would cheapen the how's value.

So, last night, after a fulfulling night of Twitter and Facebook I doozed off around three in the morning.  When I woke up my T.V. was on CMT [Country Music Channel] (don't ask me how) and this video was on.  I laid there silent, looking through my sleepiness, balled tight in my Aztec printed bedspread with great emotional attention and fell in love.  The song apparently has been out for more than a year but this morning created a newness of life for me.  The feeling I felt when the song played and the lyrics ministered is the feeling I desire when/if I meet 'The One.'  

Most know I don't have the desire to be in a relationship.  One reason is two relationships, each lasting three years, left me disinterested in romantic unions of even the fourth kind.   But honestly, it's funny how I can wake with morning emotion and gaining a new way of thinking.  This coupled with the powerful words of the song rekindled two things for me:  my love for Reba and my desire to desire somebody. 

This songs let me know... maybe I'm not looking close enough.  :)
