I love the Braveheart theme.  The melody touches my very soul.  The refrains have a haunting melancholy, building in crescendo to a passionate expression of emotion, a feeling of overcoming while the underlying strains of melancholy come through...smiling with ever-present tears in one's heart.  It is living life with SPS.  I persevere, I overcome, but I always live with the "haunting."

A descriptive gerund for me would be yearning.  Yearning for elusive change, yearning for bygones, for things lost, yearning for my future, for hope that will be.  I will never achieve inner unity; happiness with tears; always in the fight, never losing, never winning.  Yearning.  The music from this song expresses many feelings in my heart.  I am whole but incomplete, captive but free.  My life is a dichotomy.  I relate to the musical emotion of this song and the appropriate title...Braveheart.  It sings...me.

Sharing a thought.
