What's it all about?

What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
then I guess it's wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
what will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's something much more,
something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
and you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.

For some strange reason, this song has been in my head today. Well, really only that one line … What's it all about, Alfie? I googled the lyrics because it was driving me crazy. I needed to figure out what my inner deejay was telling me. And I think it's this. The moment may be crazy. The world may seem to be falling apart, if not for yourself than for those you love around you. But that's the key - love. Focus on love, let your heart lead the way and you will follow God's path. It will all be ok. I've got some friends in crazy situations in my prayers right now. I've got some other various and sundry complicated situations in my prayers too. I can't fix them all or sort them all out, but I can hold them in my heart. And that I guess is what it's all about.

Hopefully now I can move on and get this song out of my head! Burt Baccharach songs are not normally what I listen to!
