Truth and Beauty flow into us from many streams, sometimes cool and clear, sometimes muddy and blurred. This blog is an attempt to filter through and find in the music of our culture the longing for an Infinite Love stamped in every human heart.
Theology of the Body?
What is the TOB?
Simply stated, the Theology of the Body is Pope John Paul II's biblical reflection on what it means to be human, male and female, created in the image of God. The human body is not just a biological organism bound by instinct, but a theological reality called to freedom! And in our hearts we find a call to love and communion with each other as man and woman. There is something of the Divine, something touching on the Infinite in this love, and it's reflected in our music, our movies, our poetry. The call to love sets us apart from all the rest of creation!

I need an everlasting love. I need a friend and a lover divine. An everlasting precious love. Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time.
Bono, U2
I wanna run, I want to hide. I wanna tear down the walls that hold me inside. I wanna reach out and touch the flame where the streets have no name.
Van Morrison
Hark, now hear the sailors cry. Smell the sea and feel the sky. Oh, let your soul and spirit fly into the Mystic.

I’m tired of getting caught up in those one night affairs. What I really need is somebody who will always be there... So if you’re looking for devotion, talk to me. Come with your heart in your hands...

There's a hole in my heart that can only be filled by you, and this hole in my heart can't be filled by the things I do.
Tears for Fears
Without Love and a Promised Land, we're fools to the rules of a government plan. Kick out the style: bring back the jam.
Bryan Adams
To really love a woman, to understand her - you gotta know her deep inside. Hear every thought, see every dream, and give her wings when she wants to fly...
