Thread Name: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo....
Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo....
I was in no way offended, mjm. I just thought perhaps I was misunderstood. I admire all who have considered the question of what they consider sacred or holy. It is a bit surprising to me find that there are many who do not give such things much thought.
There are so very many questions floating around out there about life, death, love, purpose, etc.. It is nice to hear some "answers" once in a while.
There are even some great songs about this topic. For instance, "Young Man" (which I have only heard performed by The Womenfolk). The first line is, "With what do you concern yourself, young man?" Succeeding verses begin with, "What are you crying for, young man?" and "What will you be when your life is through, young man?" Good questions. I'll try to post the lyrics after a while in a different thread. But I will tell you what the response to the last question is: "I'll be one with the fire in a lover's eyes, the pale of the moon in the midnight skies, the birth of a man and the death he dies - and love."
Anybody else know of any songs which are more or less on this topic?
