Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time, in the time of one person’s life. . . mine, I stumbled around and found that I didn’t know what the hell I was doing. So I took a drive, and when I arrived, I had landed in a place that I had expected to find, but in a circumstance that challenged me beyond the mere comprehension o my mind. There is far more to this life than what meets the eye, although the eyes, when directed to any particular event or circumstance, may expose a spectrum of existence that is not normally available to the sensibility of a mere man . . .

And so, having been given the opportunity to respond to an encounter with the Eternal One, the burning bush, the One who Is, Was and Will always be, the One who submitted himself to death so that He could demonstrate that life goes on beyond death. . .

. . . while driving through Colorado in 1977, in my travel along the mountain road, I stopped to take a break. Wandering a little ways up the mountainside, I paused to set my hand to the guitar that was slung upon my back, and this is what came out of the sound hole of the guitar, and out of the soul of this human being. Follow me, for a few minutes, into that sound hole, into that vortex of Time that ultimately leads to Eternity. . . Listen to this: http://www.micahrowland.com/carey/Follow the Way.mp3 King of Soul
