There is still a Light that Shines on Me, Shine on 'til Tomorrow



I spent some of my teen years in Puerto Rico. One of the activities I was involved in was singing in beachside restaurants on the weekends. This was always one of my favorite songs from our set. I was deeply lonely and unsure and as we sang it, I would look out the restaurant windows onto the beach below, with the moon reflecting over the water and palms. It was my heartcry and for that brief moment, I felt better about where I was, who I was.
Over the holiday, I saw the movie "Across the Universe" with this same song was performed. Sad yet hopeful.
