On July 4, 1978, I visited Keith Green's commune with my cousin Loren. I went there because I wanted to perhaps live in Keith Green's commune with "God-loving-Jesus-Freak hippies." Many young Jewish and gentiles were there and I wondered if I should join them.
Two months later, I met Dan Farris. Dan and I married less than a year later.
To save money, we shared a house with about 10 people, that, in a way, turned into that "God-loving-Jesus-Freak commune" I was looking for. We took in many people hungry for God's love during the three years we lived at the Atherton House. Every day was an adventure then.
Years passed. I forgot.
Yesterday, 2-10-2013....I remembered. This song is about me and my continuing spiritual journey...

Until Your Love Broke Through - By Keith Green
Like a foolish dreamer trying to build a highway to the sky
All my hopes would come tumbling down
And I never knew just why
Until today, when you pulled away the clouds
That hung like curtains on my eyes
Well I've been blind all these wasted years
And I thought I was so wise
But then you took me by surprise
Like waking up from the longest dream, how real it seemed
Until your love broke through
I've been lost in a fantasy, that blinded me
Until your love broke through
All my life I've been searching for that crazy missing part
And with one touch, you just rolled away
The stone that held my heart
And now I see that the answer was as easy
As just asking you in
And I am so sure I could never doubt
Your gentle touch again
It's like the power of the wind
Like waking up from the longest dream, how real it seemed
Until your love broke through
I've been lost in a fantasy, that blinded me
Until your love, your love broke through
Like waking up from the longest dream, how real it seemed
Until your love broke through
Until your love broke through
