My status.....more than the 420 allowed.

This is an excerpt from the interview with Hawksley Workman on All Things Considered about his song, "We'll Make Time".  He *GETS* it.  Too bad not everyone does.

RAZ: This is a song, I guess, about staying together through tough times.

Mr. WORKMAN: Absolutely. You know, I think that we are led to believe that love its fleeting, but I reckon when you get a little older, and your boat gets battered around a bit, you realize that love is really more a decision, and it's an opportunity to exist with somebody at their best and at their worst. And in doing so, the reflections that you get in one another become the scars that you covet because those are those simple secrets that are yours alone.

And those things are not celebrated in movie love. That's the real stuff that we all fear, that I think is very easy to walk away from. But I guess I'm lucky.

My folks aren't together, but I know people that are together and that are old and together, and their journeys come with their bumps and bruises. And I think that if you are of a mind that you will ultimately celebrate those bumps and bruises, even though they might be years in the making, they will be the things that you celebrate and that you cherish and that will be the character of your relationship.

Bravo, Hawksley.  Bravo.
