Closer to Fine

Is it Tuesday? I hate the fog of never knowing what day it is when you work from home. Not much differinciates one day from another. Today however, we're going to the zoo. It's designed to be a special treat and quality time with our daughter. Whom, if you're paying attention, is stretching her independence in all the wrong directions. We're hoping that quality time with mom & dad goes a long way to recover the sweetheart that we're pretty sure is still in there somewhere. Which leads me to the timeless wisdom of who else? The Indigo Girls...

"I'm trying to tell you something about my life, maybe give me insight between black and white. See, the best thing you've ever done for me is to help me take my life less seriously... it's only life after all. Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable, and lightness has a call that's hard to hear. I wrap my fear around me like a blanket, I sailed my ship of safety until I sank it. Now, I'm crawling on your shores. I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains, I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains. There's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line.... and the less I seek my source for some definitive, the closer I am to fine."

What, exactly does all that mean? Don't try so hard to make life & little girls perfect? The house of cards is always fragile and prone to fall when provoked? Deep... I'm not sure exactly what that means...
