About Me

I have a fish stone burning my elbow, reminding me to know that I'm glad."There are only two things that pierce the human heart. One is beauty. The other is affliction."- Simone Weil

Honesty has the potential to transform the entire being.

My Interests

I never saw a moor,
I never saw the sea;
Yet know I how the heather looks,
And what a wave must be.
I never spoke with God,
Nor visited in heaven;
Yet certain am I of the spot
As if the chart were given.
-- Emily Dickinson

I'd like to meet:

If only this were "Places I'd Like to Go," then I'd have more to say.

Music:

Nothing is original.
Since when did we decide that Christian music would, in fact, be secular music minus the dirty language and a sprinkle of capital Y's and "holy's"? There's no talent in shoving your influences into a blender and hoping the outcome is a flavorful, fruity, hip new song. A real artist strategically places small puzzle pieces of all the Greats he/she has encountered in order to create a refreshing and definitive masterpiece.
I would say that I prefer the latter of the two.

Movies:

Little Miss Sunshine
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Mozart and the Whale
Matchpoint

Books:

the bible
robert frost
blue like jazz
the secret garden
east of eden
the catcher in the rye
velvet elvis
