My son in Germany sometimes feels likes he’s millions of miles from home, but fortunately he’s not. He likes this song because of the reminder: You’re never alone. Once, when he was still living with us, I had a migrant English student come for a lesson and my son played 93 million miles<\/em> on his guitar for her. We all sang it together, and by the end we felt like every one of the world’s problems was solvable!<\/p>\n 93 million miles from the sun Here’s my son when he was still in Australia, enjoying solitude between a rock and a hard place on ‘Ben’s Walk’, a riverside forest track in Nowra, New South Wales. It’s an image of solitude, a moment when he was on his own, contemplating the river view. Although, as the song says, ‘You’re never alone’: his dad was round the other side of the rock and I was outside the gap with a camera!<\/p>\n Actually, he’s not alone in Germany either, for he has his wife, Mrs Amazing. But this post is for him in those hours when she’s away doing amazingly astronomical things and he’s physically alone. It’s a bit of electronic interaction that might, just might, momentarily curb the negative side of his solitude.<\/p>\n
\nPeople get ready, get ready,
\n‘Cause here it comes, it’s a light
\nA beautiful light
\nOver the horizon into our eyes.<\/p>\n![\"Ben's](\"https:\/\/soundslikewish.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/02\/dsc08588.jpg\")
