Today, we have Paul Simon's Mother and Child Reunion stuck in our heads. It's an odd song that suggests a multifaceted situation of loss and closure, grief and hope for completion, love and sorrow. It is open to interpretation; it can apply to myriad occasions, and can speak individually to many people. We do not know why it is running through our minds -- it does not appear to be applicable to any particular circumstance in our lives right now -- but somehow, it fits the mood of the moment.
