Spike is Best

When I was working at the grocery store all those years ago, whenever this song came on the sound system, I would stop what I was doing and sort of go into a trance. It was actually this song that got me into Dire Straits.

Without getting into personal journey stories (I'm incapable of memoir), the lyrics substituted in a rough sort of way as a yearning for God - even as the seed of faith was saying, He's right here, closer than you know, identifying himself with your most vulnerable self.

Still, there is room - God permits it - for his creature, to express his longing. It's everywhere in the Old Testament, in the psalms.
