Listen to the wind blow coming from the forestland
Chasing every car down every broken avenue
Unlike me and you and you and me

Won't you feel the water flow down wild rivers
that will never end
They will never try to understand, turn stone into sand
As they go

Take me back to understand
Deep inside our hearts know
We don't make the wind blow

Look and see the little ones, running through the rain storms
The dark and the dirt didn't bother us then
Like a long lost friend I still remember them

Looking up at the laughing stars
We were dancing in an open sky
And with open eyes and
Our minds as open

Take me back to understand
Deep inside our hearts know
We don't make the wind blow
Take me back to understand
Deep inside our hearts know
We don't make the wind blow

Deep inside our hearts know
We don't make the wind blow
Deep inside our hearts know
We don't make the wind blow

Take me back to understand
Deep inside our hearts know
We don't make the wind blow
Take me back to understand
Deep inside our hearts know
We don't make the wind blow
Deep inside our hearts know
We don't make the wind blow

Jesus, in the Gospel of Mark... being asked what is the greatest commandment...


Jesus replied, "The most important is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.' The second is this: 'You shall love the other as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

*Albert Magnus, teacher of Thomas Aquinas (b. 1193)...

We each will cleave to something. We will worship something. We, as rational beings, have an inward, insatiable desire to attach and seek to transcend our limits through some form of oblation of our selves, poured out for something. We, being small, are prone to fulfillment in a Larger. We long to lose ourselves, to discover a Self much more than others have told us we are. We sense there is an "I" that is more grand than the "self" we have become identified with as our self.
