| When I think of what I want to do as a writer, I always come back to the Rich Mullins line: "Another tune forms in my head / More harmonies, more empty words. / Oh, I could play these songs 'till I was dead / And never approach the sound that I once heard." I'm coming closer and closer to hearing the sound that I once heard--hearing it and longing to hear it all at the same time, to borrow a concept from one of my favorite Star Trek books. These are a collection of some of the essays that I've used to try to capture the things I've learned. |
