Ideas come from the Earth. They come from every human experience that you’ve either witnessed or have heard about, translated into your brain in your own sense of dialogue, in your own language form.

We come before God to pray for the missing and the dead, and for those who loved them. . . Our purpose as a nation is firm, yet our wounds as a people are recent and unhealed and lead us to pray. . .

So if you sit on the bench, you cannot reach the faucets.
