What is Love?
The answer is to keep asking.
(Inspired by rumination over Fleetwood Mac's Landslide)
This song has been a subject of interest, thought, and variation for others, too, including the Dixie Chix.
She and Stevie were 27. I was 22. The lyrics of this song have mystified me since high school, but lately it continues to make more sense. Perhaps I do not understand in the same way, because I wouldn't have put the emphasis on feeling older, but on reflections, landslides, changes,
... and on contemplation of the great reflection of the mirror in the sky.

LANDSLIDE
Landslide
Track #: 14
Tracklist: The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac
I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Well, Ive been afraid of changing
cause Ive built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
Im getting older too
Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe the landslide will bring it down
Another interesting story about love and reflection comes from The Alchemist.
