About Me

Freshly remade. Brand new song to sing. Being built by God. Trained for true war. Born to set the captives free. Light on the inside. Forgiven by the Gracious One. Called by name. Known completely before the world was made, and loved. I like to climb mountains. I have decided to follow Jesus.I know Someone you need.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

you.-------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --" The real damage is done by the millions who want to "survive". The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don't want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. Those with no sides and no causes. Those who won't take measure for their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those who don't like to make waves or enemies. Those who for freedom,honor,truth,and principals are only in literature. Those who live small,mate small, die small. It's the reductionist approach to life:if you keep it small, you'll keep it under control. If you don't make any noise, the bogeyman won't find you. But it's all an illusion, because they die too, those people who roll their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe. Safe? From what? Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn." - Abraham Herschel

With my own eyes, or, Psalm 19b

His feet take up into themselves The braille written in the cool stones beneath him Laid by in an ancient stream, Bright with waters on pilgrimage. She trails the rhythm of a naked elm aga...

A brief symphony

It was a song When I towered on both knees; I was a lit match surging Because my fingers were curled Into the hairs of Your face. And You imbued me, Somewhere in my ribcage, With everything I needed...

I Need

I Need To see the air spread wide And stretch my wings until The night is friendlier, till we are Cheek to cheek with the stars. And if we sing, our voices will only lilt To give time for breath unti...

Ode to my couch

This is a little unorthodox But I think it is appropriate Seeing as how you've given so much to me; This is for all those times I could have been creating But you saved me, you held me fast For all th...

Man with a guitar.

I remember seeing Van Gogh's "Man with a guitar" for the first time, wanting so badly to say that; to take all the blue in me and turn it into something beautiful, and it's the same when I stare down ...
