I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you

I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
You know I believed it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...

-U2, Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

This song is so incredibly perfect, whether you take it as romantic or religious. The music feels, well, free; and the lyrics speak for themselves. I can just see Bono walking down the street with all of these incredible things going on around him. That's kind of how I feel today. I woke up and the world seemed open. I actually started thinking about everything that I've done, especially in the last couple of years. It's a lot, and pretty amazing stuff, some of it. But somehow, in the last week, I've felt restrained. Somehow melancholy about.... things, I guess. Depression is one of the most contagious things in a person. As soon as you start feeling depressed about one area of life, the rest somehow catches it. But that doesn't even matter. Because today I feel revived. I walked to class this morning and felt the wind whipping at my face. I opened my arms and enjoyed the stinging sensation. This is a great year of a great time in my life. I have climbed highest mountains, I have run through the fields.... but I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
