The Great Elton John

I have been listening to Sir Elton John

for more years than I care to admit

and this morning

he was singing to me on my SiriusXM station

while I was driving to work.

He was singing "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me"

and the first line just hit me today.

"I can't light no more of your darkness."

At the risk of anyone thinking I have a lot of darkness in my life,

I don't.

But . . . 

Sometimes we all expect other people to fix - whatever - for us

to make it all better

to light our darkness.

Another but . . . 

that just isn't how it works.

No one can do that for us.

We have to do that for ourselves.
