&#8220;You don&#8217;t know what love is
Til you’ve learned the meaning of the blues
Until you’ve loved a love you&#8217;ve had to lose
You don&#8217;t know what love is.&#8221;

I was listening to Kevyn Lettau&#8217;s version of this tune from her recent &#8220;What is Enough&#8221; album when it just struck me that I&#8217;ve never really learned to love till [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marielsgarden.wordpress.com&blog=1866006&post=576&subd=marielsgarden&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Dear Mommy,
I went to the mall again today, trying to get some of the old &#8216;excitement &#8216; back. But then even in the midst of a great sea of shopaholics, I still find myself so alone. I&#8217;m missing those times we would be there trying to hunt for &#8216; great bargains&#8217;. Yes, you would have [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marielsgarden.wordpress.com&blog=1866006&post=553&subd=marielsgarden&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I shamelessly borrow from song titles these days, like this one from my favorite musician- John McLaughlin- above, because I&#8217;m truly at a loss for words to describe my life at the moment. And  this tune comes to mind.
My days are filled with the unrelenting minutiae of everyday life, helping create the illusion of being &#8220;busy&#8221; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marielsgarden.wordpress.com&blog=1866006&post=529&subd=marielsgarden&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

&#8220;All Roads Lead Home&#8221; was a tune written and performed by musician and dear friend Noli Aurillo in his latest &#8220;Noli&#8221; album/CD. He had asked me to listen it when we met again last year, after having lost touch of each other for like &#8220;centuries&#8221;.

I started writing this post around Christmas but things have taken some kind of a detour.
I&#8217;ve been really trying to understand, how the pain I&#8217;ve felt with Mariel&#8217;s passing had suddenly given way to a deep feeling of emptiness. I tried to keep busy during the holidays especially as Mariel&#8217;s favorite sister Joy was visiting [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marielsgarden.wordpress.com&blog=1866006&post=476&subd=marielsgarden&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
