Poetry of music: Across the Universe, with Rufus Wainwright
John Lennon’s version of Across the Universe is a simple, plainitive acceptance of the impermanent world; Rufus adds some energy and wistfulness. See what you think…everybody sing along!
"When the faith is strong enough it is sufficient just to be. It’s a journey towards simplicity, towards quietness, towards a kind of joy that is not in time. It’s a journey that has taken us from primary identification with our body and our psyche, on to an identification with God, and ultimately beyond identification." -- Ram Dass
