Rosenthal Glass Pieces

Love Wins. 

It may not always feel that way.

It may not always be obvious.

It may not mean that there isn’t a great struggle to get there or that real pain and suffering aren’t inflicted along the way.

But Love Wins.

There may be wounds that never fully heal and scars that always remind.

And there will always be experiences and lives that are left unredeemed.

But Love Wins.

Eventually.

This is a hard earned truth of the human condition.

If we can recognize it.

 

Love Wins

The world is sustained by the breath of school children. 

So the Talmud teaches.

Because the breath of school children is the breath of learning.

It is the breath of becoming.

It is the breath of transformation

and the breath of hope.

It is the breath of the open-minded.

The breath of innocence.

The breath of curiosity.

The breath of reflection.

The breath of thirst sated by knowledge eventually toward wisdom.

It is the breath of now and the breath of tomorrow.

The 17th track on The Davis Academy’s Menschology is called “Love Wins.” But it should really be called, “Love Wins(The World is Sustained by the Breath of School Children”).

That’s because these two themes merge in the message and melody of this song. Love Wins is a song that honors children, teachers, and everyone who dedicates their life to ensuring that Love Wins. The title of the song is purposefully referential, inspired by and honoring the various causes that have taken “Love Wins” as their motto. For those that care to know, the song was written on 12/14/12 as an emotional reaction to the events of that day.

It is performed beautifully on Menschology by Eva Shell, Kendrick Phillips, and Will Robertson.

If you have thoughts about Love Wins (The World is Sustained by the Breath of School Children) we’d love to hear them. In the meantime, you can stream the song wherever you listen to music or download it here.
