1. a configuration, pattern, or organized field having specific properties that cannot be derived from the summation of its component parts; a unified whole.
2. an instance or example of such a unified whole.
It's a rough sounding word, blunt and direct and almost cold seeming. Yet if one grabs hold of the actual concept it becomes itself. It's quite beautiful when you look beyond the individual dots and pieces and find the picture hidden behind them.
It's something I've lived with my entire life. It leaves me wondering about the differences and similarities between burdens and blessings.
"Dont Fade"
Toad the Wet Sprocket
Lyrics:
lead me well, don't clear my way
it's fascinating how the pallor can stay upon your face
when you are light like a little boy
flying kites and shouting to the world
you're shouting to the world your joy
don't fade, you're staying here with me
don't fade, i need to know that someone still believes
look around, see for yourself
he led us down and at the water's edge we knelt
petals in the lake and red upon my face
she's crying as we pray
and it all comes down to money, again
how could you forsake the love of god that way
don't fade, you're staying here with me
don't fade, i need to know that someone still believes
cause i still believe
