Love's illusions

Here is a Joni Mitchell song sung magnificently by Judy Collins with the Boston Pops in 1976.

I've looked at life that way.
Somethin's lost, but somethin's gained in livin' every day.
It's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life at all.

Next time you fly, think of this song as you look at the clouds from the other side.
