An Explanation

The blogsite name is derived in part from a song that has stood the test of some time on my iPod. It is also in part from the image of the smoke clearing from the field of battle. The song is “Everyday” by Toby Lightman. If you have not heard her voice, do so. Go on iTunes and BUY her music. She is a beautiful young lady with a gift of soul living out in California. She even replied to my email.
Just a sample of the lyrics:
…so I find myself in need of a pause
I’m not sure why, but I think that it’s because
Of this desire to be what others want me to be
Which is nothing close to me.
But I’ll see better when the smoke clears
… when the smoke clears inside my head.
And I can listen when the screaming
… doesn’t repeat everything I’ve said.
All that remains is me and who I am
at the end of the day,
And this happens everyday.
