The way I remember it, Terry Wright, my husband at the time, was suffering from some sort of psychosis. In the 70s we knew little about mental disease compared to today. I read Psalm 13 from a traditional translation, and it just sang itself to "500 miles". "Lord I'm one, lord, I'm two, lord I'm three hundred miles..." (change to " How long, O Lord, will you quite forget me, How long will you turn your face from me?") It spoke to the grief I was experiencing when my talented, intelligent, educated husband became an unknown self. So I sang it to some others and it "got into history".
