if/then

last night, i saw a wonderful show. it was a musical that explored the two different paths one woman's life took based on one simple decision. i had been intrigued by the concept from the moment i read about this show being done and so i seized on the opportunity of this trip to new york to go see it.

there are quite a few shows that i was interested in seeing, but i'm glad i chose this one. still, as much as i enjoyed it, there were also several painful moments. the scenarios and songs touched on many emotions that i have been experiencing and have explored in some detail in this blog. i could tell that this show had many messages that i needed to hear about starting over and being hopeful in the midst of heartbreak and disappointment. it was a message that i needed to hear, but unfortunately my heart is not yet ready to receive it completely.

but a seed has been planted. i have the cast recording, and i will continue to listen to these songs. hopefully, life will bring nourishing water to these seeds and they will open, take root, and help me to get to a better place.
