THRU THIS LIFE THE SEARCH GOES ON....LIKE SOMEONE SEARCHING FOR A SONG,
A MELODY HALF HIDDEN BUT IT LINGERS IN THE MIND....AND DRAWS YOU ONWARD
TO PLACES UNKNOWN. YOU CHASE THE SONG....YOU HEAR ITS LURE...BUT IT ESCAPES
YOU. WHAT IS IT TRYING TO TELL YOU? THERE IS A MESSSAGE IN IT.... THIS
YOU KNOW!
AS WINDS FROM DOWN A CANYON BLOW, OUT ONTO A PLAIN, IT SWIRLS AROUND YOU.
YOU CHASE IT. BUT IT ELUDES YOU. IF ONLY YOU COULD REACH OUT AND TOUCH IT,
BUT WHO CAN CAPTURE THE WIND....OR THE MELODY. IT IS ALWAYS AHEAD OF YOU,
OR EVEN BESIDE YOU, BUT WHEN YOU TURN, IT IS GONE.
THERE IS A MYSTERY HERE. FOR IN THE MELODY, THERE IS TRUTH, THIS YOU KNOW,
IT IS LIKE A SIREN SINGING TO YOU......LURING YOU ON, TO AN SECRET DESTINATION,
TO AN UNKNOWN DESTINY! "TOUCH ME" IT WHISPERS TO YOU "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, FOR
WHEN YOU DO, YOU WILL FIND THE SECRET!. FOR YOU MUST DESIRE TRUTH MORE THAN
YOUR OWN LIFE."
FOR IT HAS BEEN SAID, "WHAT DOES IT PROFIT A MAN, IF HE GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD
AND LOSES HIS SOUL?" HAS WHATEVER YOU HAVE TRUSTED IN... MADE YOU JOYOUS? HAS
WHAT YOU CLUNG TO FOR COMFORT MADE YOU HAPPY? IF THIS BE SO.. YOU WOULD NOT
CHASE THE MELODY, YOU WOULD NOT FEEL AN EMPTINESS DEEP WITHIN. FEAR WOULD NOT
RULE YOUR LIFE, FEAR OF CHANGE, FEAR OF THE FUTURE! SO WHAT IS CLUNG TO IS AS
"HOLLOW AIR" AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN IT, FOR TRUTH SETS YOU FREE AND MAKES NOT
OF YOU A PRISONER.
RUN... RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN... HURRY...TIME IS FLYING! "STOP......WAIT FOR ME!"
YOU SCREAM. "LET ME HEAR, LET ME KNOW, WHAT IS THIS I SEEK, WHY CAN'T I FIND
IT IN THIS WORLD? WHY DOES MY HEART CRY IN SORROW, IN THE NIGHT WHEN ALL ARE
ASLEEP AND I ALONE AM AWAKE?"
FINALLY, ONE DAY, TIME STANDS STILL AND YOU OVERRUN THE OBJECT OF YOUR DESIRE.
YOU CATCH IT...IT SPEAKS TO YOU. "DO NOT BE AFRAID. I HAVE A SECRET TO SHARE."
AND AS YOU LEAN FORWARD, IN DESPERATE ANTICIPATION, YOUR HEART POUNDS AS ONE
WHO TREMBLES AT THE APPROACH OF THEIR LOVER.
WITH OPEN HEART AND OUTSTRETCHED ARMS....YOU GATHER TO YOU, THIS MAGIC MOMENT,
AND AS YOU HEAR THE SECRET, WHISPERED SO LOVINGLY INTO YOUR SOUL, YOU SMILE,
AND THE WHISPERED MESSAGE, FILLS YOU WITH AN ECSTACY SO RAPTUROUS, YOU DARE
NOT BREATHE..FOR NOW WITHIN YOU RESTS THE SECRET TO ALL THERE IS AND TO ALL
THERE WILL EVER BE.
"LOVE IS THE ONLY THING YOU CARRY OUT OF THIS WORLD......AND ALL THE REST IS DUST"
