In many ways my writing is like therapy. It is my way of dealing with things.
Information may inform the mind, but revelation sets a heart on fire.
May I never loose the Wonder, Oh the Wonder of Your Mercy! May I sing Your Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen!
An old pop music producer once said that there are really only four kinds of song a person can write: "I love youI hate yougo awaycome back!" That's a funny observation.

It discerns in lines and colors, or in tones, what is beautiful and what is not. It gives them a meaning, and invests them with an idea.
