On my way back across the street from Sam's at lunch time, the in-studio guest on WYSO today was an opera singer. I am no aficionado of opera, though I respect its artistry and the talent it takes to perform it. The brevity of my drive kept me from having to so much as extend my arm to change the station. But in that brief minute, the guest provided the translation of the piece she was about to sing: I should be left alone to weep, because it is better to weep than to keep the sadness inside.
I awoke this morning thinking again of a far less highbrow song about which I have briefly (and vaguely) blogged before. I believe I shan't share my thoughts any further now, except to observe that I still strongly disagree with the song's concluding couplet.
Rather than dwell on these cultural messages, let me not forget that God is my sustainer, who provides for my every need.
