Mary’s music breaks my heart and then mostly lifts it up again.
I agree with Mary about the drum break. When I heard it at the Enmore Theatre, the reality of separation was made real and personal, it stopped being about someone else whose experience I could maybe try to distance myself from. The drums crashed, and it took everything for me not to vomit up, even though I’d heard the song before and loved it for its painful truth.
My government is soon to make a formal apology to children who have been left in care, and to their relinquishing mothers. I am both yearning for it hoping for healing, and dreading it for the pain it will bring.
[Truly, I am never satisfied].
Thank you Mary for your honesty and truth, and thank you for your bravery in taking that first step, and the thousands of scary ones after.
Very nice to see you are coming to Toronto again…and Guelph and London too. Looking forward to one or three of those.
Thanks!
