I don't blog about my candle making adventures, my family (with two thousand pictures of my kids), or my life as a housewife who makes quilts 24/7. I'm not some pretentious hipster who can't finish three sentences without using some form of the word "musing." I'm just here to laugh at society.

Is the answer "dust?" (reference to Kansas win?)

"How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?
How many seas must the white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes and how many times must the cannonballs fly before they're forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Yes and how many years can a mountain exist, before it is washed to the sea?
Yes and how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes and how many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Yes and how many times must a man look up, before he can see the sky?
Yes and how many ears must a man have, before he can hear people cry?
Yes and how many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind."

This is, in my opinion, one of the greatest, most inspirational songs ever writting. Bob Dylan is a genius. Simple as that.

Anyways, I really just wanted to share these lyrics with you. I'm not really sure if this is an emotional song for anybody else out there, and I don't exactly burst into tears or anything when I hear this, but it does hit me down deep, you know? These are words that really make you think. Im in the middle of compiling a list of videos and songs that make you all teary-eyed, and I'm always taking suggestions if you know of any good ones.

Fun fact! The first time I heard that song "Listen to Your Heart," I cried. I was like, twelve, but still... Haha.
