I found a song that I feel really captures the Buddhist message. Sometimes I listen to it to help ground myself.
"Gone" by Switchfoot She told him she'd rather fix her makeup than try and fix what's going on But the problem keeps on calling even with the cell phone gone. She told him that she believes in living bigger than she's living now But her world keeps spinning backwards And upside down. Don't say so long, and throw yourself wrong. Don't spin today away 'cause today will soon be Gone, like yesterday is gone Like history is gone Just try and prove me wrong and pretend like you're immortal. She said, he said, live like no tomorrow Every day we borrow brings us one step closer to the edge. (Infinity) Where's your treasure, where's your hope if you get the world and lose your soul? She pretends like (she pretends like) she's immortal. Don't say so long, you're not that far gone. This could be your big chance to make-up Today will soon be Gone, like yesterday is gone Like history is gone The world keeps spinning on You're going, going Gone, like summer break is gone, Like Saturday is gone Just try and prove me wrong and pretend like you're immortal (you're immortal) You're immortal (you're immortal) We are not infinite We are not permanent Nothing's immediate We are so confident in our accomplishments. Look at our decadence. Gone, like Frank Sinatra, like Elvis and his mom, Like Al Pacino's cash, nothing lasts in this life. My High School dreams are gone, my childhood sweets are gone Life is a day that doesn't last for long. Life is more than money, time was never money. Time was never cash, life is still more than girls. Life is more than hundred dollar bills and roto-tom fills. Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills, All the riches of the kings end up in wills We've got information in the information age but do we know what life is outside of our convenient Lexus cages? She said he said live like no tomorrow Every moment that we borrow brings us closer to the God who's not short of cash Hey, Bono. I'm glad you asked. Life is still worth living, Life is still worth living. Life is more than we are. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
