Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
— John 12:24
Visual Art
When visual art connects to us, it puts pictures to the words we cannot find. It slips past our defenses and awakens us. It might awaken grief, anger, admiration, compassion, or anything else deep in our soul. It reminds us that we are more than our to-do list, more than our rational, logical endeavors. We long to feel alive. Our creativity tells on us.
I hope my creative journey (so far) in paint, charcoal, graphite, sharpie connects to you.
Music
Music has an amazing ability to penetrate past our rational defenses and cut straight to our needy and hurting places. It can agitate, open up, and soothe what is stuffed down and closed off. It is a powerful form of language that allows us to express what at times seems inexpressible, a release valve for our souls.
These are some of the songs that give voice to pieces of my journey. Perhaps they will connect to yours and hopefully open up the door for deeper understanding and grace for yourself and others. At the very least, I hope they sound good to you ;)
