i am a writer. i am a listener and a thinker. i breathe in and speak out. i don't always say what i mean, but i try. and i believe that words can bend life.
God created the whole world by speaking (Genesis 1) and says that our tongues can either be like swords cutting others down or a balm healing up their wounds (Proverbs 12:18).
words take us places. they draw us in and out of... music, thought, literature, relationships, poetry, decisions, emotions... and make impressions--deep or shallow--in the surface and structure of our hearts.
choose words of beauty, then. of healing and love, of meaning and laughter. of learning and wonder.
this is what i hope & pray for... in my songwriting, in my interactions, in the way i breathe. . .
