If this is the end, then let it come
At major turning points in my life, there’s usually a song that attaches itself to the moment. Today, it is this one.
’Who am I to decide what should be done?
If this is the end, then let it come.
Let it come. Let it rain.
Rain all over me.
Like the tide, let it flow.
Let it wash all over me.’
I’ve not heard this song before. But, this is how I feel about my role as a physician in this world. The inability to reconcile what I’ve seen the past two and a half years with the certainty that something is very wrong has me doubting every single thing I’ve known about my “calling”....my love, my hobby, my best friend....Medicine. I envy those that are so certain of the “science” - as I am certain of nothing anymore.
Her back catalog of ballads---most of which you've never heard---is a gold mine.
Largely owing to her own antics, people overlook her musical talent. But Madonna has a God-given ear for melody and emotion.
When you listen to her ballads, you hear a real woman with real emotions that you don't hear on her hits.
