The aforementioned caveat applies to this article so please read carefully: I'm about to use the word church. I know! It's a bit of a dirty word these days, unless you're going in to peer at the stained glass, guidebook in hand, with purely secular intentions. But yes I have started going to church on a fairly regular basis. I'm not about to become a god-botherer - don't worry - (I'm not even sure if I believe in "God") but I'm enjoying dedicating a bit of quiet time to my spirituality recently, plus I find all the ritual fascinating to observe. And for the record the sermons tend to be inspiring. I find once you cut away the power bullshit & ritual all of the great religions* are inspiring. So here goes.
I was in church a couple of weeks ago & the dude (sorry, I'm shit with the official terminology, but if he's in the job for the right reasons he won't mind) delivering the sermon said sometimes music says things a lot better than we ever can. Well this subject is something that's been on my mind for a while, and I've been thinking about just how to write about it. Then I had my iTunes on random earlier & this song was playing. And Mr Jack Johnson puts it much more poetically than I could. (Listen to the chorus especially)
watch & listen to this lovely song. click me! ;-D
*Scientology does not count as a great religion no matter how many celebrities are brainwashed into it. I'm on record a number of times saying these guys are money-grabbing nutters & I stand by my views on this ;-D
