down in the valley

I need to find a balance.

I need to discover wisdom.

I need to live in peace, write with joy...

and sing.

There is no place I would rather be than in my own little world, making my own music, singing my own songs, and knowing that there is more to that moment than music.

Simply put, I want to be wrapped up in one thing that reaches beyond melody, hears my voice for more than its words. I want to be found. I want to be found in Him.

I have been learning so much lately. I feel scrambled, and unsteady. But I feel a twinge of hope - hope or something awfully like it.

I am humbled in knowing that this world will fail you. People will fail you. Love...

love will leave you.

and life...

is just one single drop of water that falls into a 50 gallon bucket of my mind's comprehension of time.

I want my days to be filled with more than time. I want my days to be filled with eternity.

I want. I want. I want.

"delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart"

I am on a quest to stand wherever I am, drenched in the water of whatever circumstance, sailing on the searching seas of my mind's understand and simply, delight in Him.

Oh, creator of color - give me eyes to see your beauty.

Oh molder of my years - give me ears to hear your...
