Wing.

[Remastered for the film, Roma.]

 

I was a wing in heaven blue

soared over the ocean

soared over Spain

and I was free

needed nobody

it was beautiful

it was beautiful

I was a pawn

didn’t have a move

didn’t have nowhere

that I could go

but I was free

I needed nobody

it was beautiful

it was beautiful

and if there’s one thing

could do for you

you’d be a wing

in heaven blue

I was a vision

in another eye

and they saw nothing

no future at all

yet I was free

I needed nobody i

t was beautiful

it was beautiful

and if there’s one thing

could do for you

you’d be a wing

in heaven blue

and if there’s one thing

could do for you

you’d be a wing

in heaven blue

and if there’s one thing

could do for you

you’d be a wing

in heaven blue 

A new world yet seen.

The Silent Life.

The world of our time is in confusion. It is reaching the peak of the greatest crisis in history. Never before has there been such a total upheaval of the whole human race. Tremendous forces are at work: spiritual, sociological, economic, technological, and, least of all, political. Mankind stands on the brink of a new barbarism, yet at the same time there remain possibilities for an unexpected and almost unbelievable solution, the creation of a new world and a new civilization, the like of which has never been seen. We are face to face either with Antichrist or the Millennium, no one knows which.

-Thomas Merton, 1957

 

Pride goes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18
