    Re: world is not words and it's meaning

    Considering words as something material it is beyond all doubts that words are not world – or world is not words. Looking for a meaning of word “spiritual “ itself I came to conclusion that maybe the core of this word is relation to immaterial world and higher consciousness. In that meaning “Days of open Hand “ is the most spiritual album, I agree. Maybe the feel of spirituality came from self-doubting, lack of self-confidence and feel of immaterial (spiritual as a matter of fact) suffering – “Rusted pipe” as an example for that. Here we have “open hand” the most vulnerable, as you said, and defenceless as it seems to me. Many years later we have in Suzanne’s song “fist against eternity”. This is not longer the “open hand”. This is the history of one life, spoken and sung and played. I remember Suzanne said in one interview that she would like to leave music on "open hand" to someoone else - maybe not exact words, but this is how I understood her words. And here I said big "no" - maybe just music on "Open of Open Hand" is the most spiritual experience ever.
