"Love is the beauty of the soul." - Augustine
The title of this song and its lyrics remind me of Augustine's view of the inner self.
when one looks inward to the "rooms" within does one find an open courtyard with no
... one that is open ... one that provides an upward look to God ... a type of "window
the sky" so to speak. This window was put there by God/Love in each of us and hence the
form "Windows in the Skies".
Jason Scarlett
