working out this AM, this song on my iPod captured how this bleeding heart feels these days....
It's part the election, part just the intense polarization in the country, all over the world....not quite the thing to be listening to when sweating on the elliptical - but it did catch my attention (and capture my mood perfectly!).

Steely Dan, from Katy Lied
Any World
If I had my way I would move to another lifetime
I'd quit my job ride the train through the misty night time
I'll be ready when my feet touch ground wherever I come down
And if the folks will have me then they'll have me
Any world that I'm welcome to
Is better than the one I come from
I can hear your words when you speak of what you are and have seen
I can see your hand reaching out through a shining daydream
Where the days and nights are not the same
Captured happy in a picture frame, honey I will be there, yes I'll be there
Any world that I'm welcome to
Is better than the one I come from
I got this thing inside me
That's got to find a place to hide me
I only know I must obey
This feeling I can't explain away
I think I'll go to the park watch the children playing
Perhaps I'll find in my head what my heart is saying
A vision of a child returning
A kingdom where the sky is burning
Honey, I will be there, yes I'll be there
Any world that I'm welcome to
Is better than the one I come from
