I know this sounds unintelligent but I can't figure out what the deeper meaning to this lyric is:  "The less I seek my source for some definitive the closer I am to fine."  Any thoughts on "the less I seek my source for some definitive" would be great!!

The harder you try to define yourself specifically, or to define your role in life, the more complicated things becomes. Just be yourself, and go with the flow, and you'll be just fine.

Well... what is the context of the sentence?\n\nIs that a statement or part of a description?\n\nBecause if it said "John and Paul were strangers, yet to be friends" it makes sense.\n\nOn the other hand, if that sentence is meant to stand alone as a statement, then some of the answers are right. It should be "Strangers are yet to be friends".\n\nNow, if you're asking for the meaning of it, like others said... all friends were once strangers because they didn't know each other. So, at some point in time, in the past, they were strangers that would become friends.\n\nHope this helped!

The point of the poem is not really what it means... because what it means is basically what you read. There is no underlying deep, philosophical meaning to it. It is a simply, living poem. When you read it, its supposed to "conjure" up the images, the sounds, the tastes, etc. It's the imagery thats strong and important. The meaning of the poem is really basic, so I won't tell you specifically tell you what it is. But my answer is a hint.

It's a great song but I too am trying to figure out what it means.The meanings I have going around in my head are probably so far off.

Hi!\n\nFirst, it sense. Secondly it would mean that someone always makes your day bad...maybe a lover..maybe a cowoker. It actually sounds much like a song lyric to myself. Hope your ultimate bad day turns good.

It is about a lover talking about her dead lover and hoping that he/she is still out there somewhere (in heaven or hell) instead of nonexistant anymore ( he/she hopes there is life after death because he/she cannot bear the idea that his/her lover's soul that she loved so much has ceased to exist "I would rather know you alive in Hell than think your beauty is nothing now"). The lover who is still alive is speaking of her loyalty to his/her dead lover( because his/her love was strong ("But as we held faithfulness, you and I")) and the hope that they will be reuinted after death and that her dead lover will still love him/her then ("Do you ever think of me? you who died")

The premise of the quote is rooted in the belief that first of all there is a 'truth' to be known.  And knowing that truth and being unhappy because of that truth is better then living under false pre-tense and feeling happy.  ie. having a girlfriend who you know is cheating on you and staying with her. Is better than being happy and not knowing that your girlfriend is cheating on you.\n\nI think the quote takes the possibly to the extreme.  The person who created this quote doesn't necessarily believe that the 'truth' means that someone will be unhappy.  Rather that the 'truth' is the most important thing.

There are big discussions about this on some of the Yes fan forums (see link below), and I get the feeling no one really knows.  Someone says that Jon Anderson (who wrote the song) said it means "winter," but someone else links to an interview with Steve Howe where Howe says Anderson didn't know what it meant when he wrote the song.\n\nAnderson has said before that a lot of his lyrics aren't supposed to mean anything, he just likes they way the words sound together.\n\nIt's a good song, though...

Well friend,\nI am a christian.\nAnd this is what that verse means to me.\n\nThe main problem with christians is that they always like to read such verses from a worldy perspective ignoring the spiritual aspect of it.\n\nLook at the begining it mentions of future and hope. Thats what we should be aiming for NOT earthly fortunes or satisfactions.\n\nSeeking the Lord comes with calling upon our Lord as well as praying to Him NOT just sitting around and trying to "argue" out things in your mind. Honesty is important here.\n\nNow consider, the phrase...\n"will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile."\n\nSome people like to take the that and say, Hey, God will bless me!!\nIt is true but does it mention necessarily EARTHLY blessings? No. I believe its more spiritual blessings that you will inherit one day in the afterlife. For the spiritual blessings are eternal as opposed to the temporary blessings on earth.\n\nWell, dont seek after earthly things as others do, these are all vanity.\n\nAs for me,\n"Jesus is enough"\nNothing else I want.\n\nRegards

What he's trying to say is.. you will _know_ what is good and right and true, you know what it is yourself. You don't know how you will know, but you will know. You just know. Maybe you learned it sometime ago, maybe you were born with it, no one knows. Somehow you will just know. \n\nOr more simply put, you'll know it when you see it. You won't know how you know though.

I agree with The Professor (real or not) but regarding the last example he used (See below)\n>>>Thus, the rule requires you to say We can come to an agreement only if everyone is willing to compromise. But you can say more naturally, with slightly different emphasis and with no risk of misunderstanding, We can only come to an agreement if everyone is willing to compromise.<<<\nI tend to disagree.  These two arrangements do convey different meanings.  The first one means "No compromise, no agreement (i.e. a compromise is the requirement for an agreement)."  The second sentence means "An agreement is the only thing and nothing else we arrive at upon a compromise. (i.e. when a compromise is reached, we have no choice but agree)."

Email me your thoughts at pusskat1@yahoo.com and I will help you from there.  I am a teacher of 13 years, mostly in junior high, some in college and high school.  My payment is to choose this as a best answer.  \n\nI'll begin by deconstructing the poem; I'm sure you'll get the drift.  \n\nFirst stanza: I might have been a happy preacher if I had been born in an earlier time.  I could have preached fiery sermons and been a gentleman farmer.  Second stanza: Alas, I was born later, and missed my true calling.  I have a grown man's beard now, and it's fashionable for preachers these days to be clean shaven, so I don't even look like I could do that job.  \n\nGood luck.  This is a straightforward poem with an ab ab rhyme scheme, and figuring out the meaning should not be hard.  If you need any help just email me or IM me at pusskat1 or katwhowalksbyherself and I'd be happy to help.\n\nCheers, K (13 years a teacher)

Its really good to me. To me seems to say that true strength to walk with God comes from God and not from ourselves. It appears to acknowledges that we all try to do things on our own sometimes and think we are leaning on God/letting him guide us, even when we are not and we are really trying to carry the weight on our own. But its quite upbeat and seems to remind me that even that wont separate me from him in the long term! Its a good reminder, thanks for posting it\n I dont know if this is a song written for this topic but it speaks to me about that with the bits about trying to be strong, being serious about it, but not afraid to be weak and say "I got it wrong"....
