I love this song.  And the connections we make throughout life, both tangible, virtual and through music, books and poetry are one of the things that define us.

So I know I'm all right. 
Life will come, life will go.
Still I feel it's alright.
I just got a letter to my soul.
When my whole life is on the tip of my tongue,
Empty pages for the no longer young,
The apathy of time laughs in my face
You say, each life has its place.

The hatches were battened.
The thunder clouds rolled and the critics scorned.
The battle surrounded the white flag of your youth.
But if you need to know that you weathered the storm
Of cruel mortality,
A hundred years later I'm sitting here living proof.

So you know you're all right
Life will come and life will go.
Still you feel it's alright-
Some will get a letter to your soul.
When your whole life is on the tip of your tongue
Empty pages for the no longer young.
The apathy of time laughed in your face,
Did you hear me say,
Each life has its place.

- Indigo Girls, "Virginia Woolf"
