and Words
Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There’s always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it’s hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Lyric excerpts from Musixmatch.
Having attended Catholic school in Puerto Rico, we discussed religion in general and angels in particular. However, I don’t believe that any of us has a real understanding of what it’s all like, not sufficient enough to truly describe it to someone else. Those conversations in my youth were more superficial than descriptive.
Years later, I chatted with a friend about trying to describe something common without a frame of reference. Imagine talking on the phone with someone and needing to distinguish between ‘left’ and ‘right’ without making another reference (like on which side of the street do people drive). Similarly, how do you describe to a blind person what certain colors look like having never seen them? I found that talking about religion was often like this. We had directions to accept certain ideas as truisms, but most discussions were ultimately unfulfilling.
