Though I assume that the spirituality of the words is influenced as much by buddhism as by christianity from some interviews I've heard with Glen Phillips, the fact remains that simplicity isn't just to be craved it is something we must actively pursue. This is a place where there is some crossover with both of these spiritual paths. I gather thoughts and ideas, possessions and successes, failure and sin, the good with the bad. It's up to me to throw out the collections or odd parts that would influence my decisions in unhealthy ways.<br /><br />I've tried to get a few churches to use this song to set up a sermon. Some thought it was too harsh. One which my surprise you was going to let me sing it but requested I change "sycophantic games" because they didn't understand it. Not sure if they thought it was dirty. Anyway they decided in the end not to have an opening song for time reasons.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731458246199241662noreply@blogger.com
