I don’t see myself as a religious person, but really wish that I was. Two of the greatest songs in music history are “I still haven’t found what I am looking for” by U2 and “the Rising” by Bruce Springsteen. I can not play either without shedding a tear.
I consider myself a spiritual person though. Sometimes we need to climb a mountain, or walk a shoreline just to feel alive again.
I created my own phrase: “seek to understand, not to conquer”. We seem to be obsessed with finding opposition. It would be much easier just to listen. Religion and I have yet to chance upon mutual discovery, but I can feel it in my heart that our paths will meet soon. When it does, I will be all ears.
“Spirits above and behind me
Faces gone black, eyes burnin’ bright
May their precious blood forever bind me
Lord as I stand before your fiery light”The Rising, by Bruce Springsteen
