snippet

I have had a whirl wind week and just got back to life yesterday! It was so great. A trip to Bermuda, two Mat Kearney shows, a day visit with a friend I haven't seen in awhile, a hilarious movie, and another show at Busch Gardens where I laughed so hard I thought I was going to die!

Still working on Heroic Verse. It's not coming as well as I want it to. When I am thinking about it falls into place, when I finally get to sit down and work on it, I fumble all over the place. I am working on it though and here is a snippet of it.

"When I was in the tenth grade my English teacher and Young Life leader introduced me to Indigo Girls’ “Rites of Passage” album. That album got me through some hard times. I have purchased that album more than any other singular album. I am moved by their music. It soothes my heart and for some reason it empowers me. Indigo Girls emitted a strong female character with out being too overwhelming, more so empowering. I don’t even know why it did either. Some of their music actually makes me feel more beautiful when I hear it. It is as if the lyrics are telling a deep secret that whispers recognition and encourages solidarity and isolates the isolation for the three minutes and thirty seconds that it permeates the barriers. Until the next song picks ups its own rhythm and leads its parallel within me."

We'll see how it goes. Something will be up this week though. Something of substance one way or another.

Thank you for reading.
