The deeply symbolic and even haunting lyrics in this song bring sadness and yet so much hope. Much of our life is hard - very hard at times. As we look back at the challenges we and others have faced, we can deeply feel their profoundly refining influence on us - everything we've become and will continue to become. May the fields beckon us home - to a place of safety, refuge, support and with room to grow. There we will seek and find new purpose, deeper meaning and clarity in the next cherished moment.
