I'm not a religious man. Sadly, I have never been blessed with faith.
On the plane though last night I was listening Faure's Opus 48 and, purely from a musical perspective, I was utterly entranced by this heroically beautiful setting.
My enjoyment of the music was tempered only by the knowledge that I could never appreciate this as much a true believer. Being moved purely by the music is one thing but imagine if I could enjoy this and be filled with the spirit of the Lord. Wouldn't that be something.
Christians are such lucky bastards.
