“It’s your job,” my husband cries out, waking me from a good stretch of slumber.

“Are you awake?” I ask.

“No.”

I am, and I don’t fall back to sleep for hours.

Later, when my husband is awake, I ask him about his late night outburst. He tells me about his dream … he is getting ready to host the Beatles at his hotel, and he’s summoned the staff together for a pep talk. He tells them what needs to be done to make the place ready. “It’s your job,” he says …

“That’s funny,” I say. “I woke up this morning singing, ‘Let it be.'”

He nods, and knows how I feel.

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
From this, our mantra for today –for many days- is revealed.

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
