> Maybe existence has its own significance without our having to search for clues to prove that it is.
For some of us having to see proof is like for others wanting food. For myself I can't describe it, but the urge certainly has it's bonuses. I'm like a sponge at times looking for reasoning to quench an unquenchable thirst.
> Also, if your motive _is_ to discuss the possible significance of songs -- we're off to the faith board. Make sense?
As I always say this is one of my many opinions so it may not reflect the same image that others see. Songs may be about faith, but they are also much apart of our sense of self which can translate into just being social. Religion use to be a very social activity but now society is very diverse that our religious faiths don't dictate who we socialize with anymore or which drummer we prefer to listen to too.
Whispering Willow
ps everytime i hear the christmas carol about the little drummer boy it reminds me of my husband's grandmother and for some unkown reason fills me with bittersweet feelings as she is gone from this world, but would i choose not to listen to the song because it wrenches my insides, oh not me, my emotional being enjoys the pain as much as i look forward to a good strong wind, and speaking of winds a north wind has come down cooling things off enough so i can pack and begin my journey, and miracously things always work out for me this way, and i take pleasure in thinking that a god smiles favourly on this child
