subtle revolution

"There are two kinds of revolutionists, as of most things- a good kind and a bad. The bad revolutionists destroy conventions by appealing to fads- fashions that are newer than conventions. The good do it by appealing to facts that are older than conventions." (G.K. Chesterton)

time gone by

I was doing some cleaning today and came across a few things I had written some time ago. Throughout my training in the visual arts I was taught to keep a sketchbook- a visual journal- all process and no mistakes.
This blog is also a sketchbook of sorts; it is a revelation of process- no mistakes.

To be quite honest, all of that... just a glorified apology for the poor quality of the writing to follow. Oh well.

Darkness fills the world
It's knocking on my door
Nowhere to run
So I kneel down on the floor

and I turn to you

Do you hear me speaking?
Am i loud enough?
Guard me while I'm sleeping
The nights can be so rough

With the faith that I am keeping
Oh, Lord

I turn to you

There are so many faces
Walking down the street
I wish that I could find you
In everyone I meet
Sometimes the days get so bleak
But When my heart has gotten weak

I turn to you

I know I'll turn to you
You always hear me speaking
I'll be loud enough
You guard me while I'm sleeping
Nights won't be so rough
With this faith that I am keeping

I turn to you

    wow...I loved it...and at the same time I could stop the tear that I cried... my prayers and thoughts... and sometimes when the nights are the longest we learn so much more than we could have ever dreamed! (sara kipp)
