Thoughts::

What does it mean “to love God” if not to be obsessed with the powers that led to your existence? And what does is mean to “love your neighbor” if not to see those powers at work in the magnificent beings who compose the fabric of your life?⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Each, individual human creature is a galaxy of thought, experience, and emotion. You could dedicate your entire time here on earth to exploring just a fragment of one of these “galaxies” and your life would not be wasted. Understand, there is no normal life and there is no ordinary love. There are only phenomenons and miracles. Just because you think you can explain them away with science or religion doesn’t make this any less true. Human life is one of the least common things in the physical universe, and to have a real connection with anyone of these fascinating creatures is certainly a type of Divine experience. A heavenly city would certainly be made up of these organisms, and ironically we walk beside them each day.

I have to keep telling myself: "Slow down. You really really really don’t want to miss this."⁣

Lyrics::

There is a heavenly city
That I’m compelled to find
Though I love the flowers and trees
And the smell of the grinding sea
And all the beautiful things here in life

I, I’m a pilgrim here
On this side of the great divide
I’m a pilgrim here
But I’ll walk with you for a while

Nobody’s ever quite ready
But they all take the ride
Many have died with a promise inside
They never got to see it in their time

I, I’m a pilgrim here
On this side of the great divide
I’m a pilgrim here
But I’ll walk with you for a while

Walk with you for a while
I’ll love you here for a while
I’ll hold you for a while
I’ll love you
I’ll love you here for (a while) I’ll love you
I’ll love you here for (a while) I’ll love you
I’ll love you here for (a while) I’ll love you
I’ll love you here for (a while) I’ll love you
I’ll love you here for a while


I, I’m a pilgrim here
On this side of the great divide
I’m a pilgrim here
But I’ll walk with you

I’ll love you
I’ll love you here for…
I’ll love you
I’ll love you here for…
I’ll love you
I’ll love you here for…
I’ll love you
I’ll love you here for…
I’ll love you
I’ll love you here for…
I’ll love you
I’ll love you here for a while
