"Some Eloquent Graffiti..."

There's a quote from an Iron & Wine song for you. "Trapeze Swinger" is a gem.

In it, Sam Beam's mellow voice spins a yarn that is dreamlike. Both the visual images painted by the lyrics and the meandering way the images are arrived at with little obvious connectivity, indicate otherworldliness. 

    And then they went on to say that the pearly gates

    Had some eloquent graffiti

    Like "We'll meet again" and "Fuck the man"

    And "Tell my mother not to worry"

I think we are all predisposed to thinking that God is 'the man'. We say "down with the man!" and in our hearts, ultimately, we are raging against God's authority. 

But God isn't 'the man'. God is the liberator. I love you.
