Dear Anyone Who Finds This, Do Not

This Ability To Exist In Pieces Is What Some Adults Call Resilience. And I Suppose In Some Way It Is A Kind Of Resilience, A Horrible Resilience That Makes Adults Believe Children Forget Trauma.

If I Could Only Turn The Etch-a-sketch Of My Life Upside Down.

When You Start To Think Of The Arts As Not This Thing That Is Going To Get You Somewhere In Terms Of Becoming An Artist Or Becoming Famous Or Whatever It Is That People Do, But Rather A Way Of Making Being In The World Not Just Bearable, But Fascinating, Then It Starts To Get Interesting Again.

Gospel Singing ... Is The Rawest, Sweetest, Uninhibited And Exquisite Sounds A Person Can Make Or Hear. It Isn't Music, It's An Entire Experience You Feel And Live. A Sound To Rise You Up Again.

If It Is Your Time, Love Will Track You Down Like A Cruise Missile.
