More From Joni Mitchell

I have spent probably years of time waiting in studio lounges - waiting on a mix, waiting on my time to sing, waiting on, waiting on, waiting on. that's just the nature of life.
Years Waiting My Time
I would ... go up to the mailbox and sit in the grass, waiting. ... till it came to me one day there were women doing this with their lives, all over. there were women just waiting and waiting by mailboxes for one letter or another. i imagined me making this journey day after day and year after year, and my hair starting to go gray, and i thought, i was never made to go on like that. ... if there were woman all through life waiting, and women busy and not waiting, i knew which i had to be.
Journey Hair Years
Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. or waiting around for friday night or waiting perhaps for their uncle jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. everyone is just waiting.
Friday Uncles Night
In an ideal world we would all learn in childhood to love ourselves. we would grow, being secure in our worth and value, spreading love wherever we went, letting our light shine. if we did not learn self-love in our youth, there is still hope. the light of love is always in us, no matter how cold the flame. it is always present, waiting for the spark to ignite, waiting for the heart to awaken and call us back to the first memory of being the life force inside a dark place waiting to be born - waiting to see the light.
Memories Heart Dark
What i would like to give my daughter is freedom. and this is something that must be given by example, not exhortation. freedom is a loose leash, license to be different from your mother and still be loved...freedom is...not insisting that your daughter share your limitations. freedom also means letting your daughter reject you when she needs to and come back when she needs to. freedom is unconditional love.
Daughter Mother Mean
Women have always been seen as waiting: waited to be asked, waiting for our menses, in fear lest they do or do not come, waiting for men to come home from wars, or from work, waiting for children to grow up, or for the birth of a new child, or for menopause.

A child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all. they'll never know what it means to have a private moment to themselves an unrecorded, unanalysed thought. and that's a problem because privacy matters, privacy is what allows us to determine who we are and who we want to be.
