i've removed the following because it doesn't sound like an encyclopaedia another view this is a totally honest album lauryn has hit highs here that can only be achieved a few times in an artists lifetime it is inspiring thought provoking honest deeply spiritual and completely enjoyable just to listen to even with out an spiritual dimension go lauryn my prayer for you is that you can weather the storm of ignorant criticism that comes from this cd and that you will give us some more of the same god bless
