Sometimes, we must just ‘let go’. Sometimes, we must admit defeat. Sometimes, life teaches us to move on with grace. Sometimes, we are touched by Grace.

This past few years have been tough. Last year, was brutal. This year, a huge set of new and ongoing challenges. This past week, tested my patience, my heart, my kindness, all that is ‘good’ about myself, all that I still need to overcome, learn, take heart in… and, remember. I am counting my blessngs, as ever, after a difficult week. I have been incredibly tired the past few days, still striving to have faith in a world that can be so very harsh. But within all that crumbles, comes blessings.

I have come so close to stop singing….. I am learning that my purity, my integrity is not the same as others. I see the world differently quite often; and have been punished for forgetting that others, do not have my intentions or perceptions… I get rudely reminded that we are all evolving differently, growing at different pacings – and sometimes, I need to just walk away from people. I have given much in song, with love, willingly… and now, am taking a back step – for at least a little bit. I will sing just for my Maker, as inspiration comes. I will be more careful in who I sing with, and who I offer my gifts to… Singing nearly did me in, the past week – but, this is not the first time I’ve felt to feel ‘inconsequential’, ‘pointless’, or, unwelcomed – simply for sharing my voice.

However, I received a very beautiful ‘gift’ this morning, awakening to a glorious and heart-felt join with dear friend and Choir-Master, Jake Anthony Jagos, a magnificient and insanely brilliant talent, a humble but incredibly generous man, a very kind soul, who admits he is a ‘work in progress’ like we all are. I can only feel immense gratitude, joy and the purest sense of timing, Grace and Beauty this moment. Sometimes, when sadness overwhelms, Grace of sunlight, steps in. And ironically, in this recording, the sun physically did its best to spotlight Jake, the Singer who gave so unselfishly…. I welcome the sun’s efforts.

Mi Mancherai – Lyrics – Italian & English translation

“Mi Mancherai”

Mi mancherai se te ne vai
Mi mancherá la tua serenita
Le tue parole come canzoni al vento
E l’amore che ora porti via

Mi mancherai se te ne vai
Ora per sempre non so come vivrei
E l’allegria, amica mia
Va via con te

Mi mancherai, mi mancherai
Perché vai via?
Perché l’amore in te si é spento
Perché, perché?
Non cambiera niente lo so
E dentro sento te

Mi mancherai, mi mancherai
Perché vai via
Perché l’amore in te si é spento
Perché, perché?
Non cambiera niente lo so
E dentro sento che

Mi manchera l’immensita
Dei nostri giorni e notti insieme noi
I tuoi sorrisi quando si fa buio
La tua ingenuita da bambina, tu

Mi mancherai amore mio
Mi guardo e trovo un vuoto
dentro me

E l’allegria, amica mia
Va via con te

I’ll miss you

I’ll miss you if you leave
I’ll miss your serenity
Your words like songs in the wind
And the love you’re now taking away 
I’ll miss you if you leave
Now and always
I don’t know how I’d live
And the joy, my friend Is leaving with you 
I’ll miss you, I’ll miss you
Why are you leaving?
Because love in you is off
Why, why?
I know that nothing will change
And inside me
I feel you I’ll miss you, I’ll miss you
Why are you leaving?
Because love in you is off
Why, why?
I know that nothing will change
And inside me
I feel that I’ll miss the immensity
Of our days and nights, together
Your smiles when it gets dark
Your little girl’s naivety, you 
I’ll miss you, my love
I look around and I found a void Inside me 
And the joy, my friend Is leaving with you
