Clarity

You could write a song about some kind of emotional problem you are having, but it would not be a good song, in my eyes, until it went through a period of sensitivity to a moment of clarity. Without that moment of clarity to contribute to the song, it's just complaining. - Joni Mitchell

There is something worth pondering in this quote. I often get lost in the complaining and totally miss the moment of clarity. Faith, trust, quiet patience with open eyes.... struggles and pain offer us a deeper part of the song.
