“All those things for which we have no words are lost. The mind—the culture—has two little tools, grammar and lexicon: a decorated sand bucket and a matching shovel. With these we bluster about the continents and do all the world’s work. With these we try to save our very lives.” –Annie Dillard
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever!”
Psalm 111:10

Hi Emily!
Somehow facebook led me to your blog, and it’s beautiful. It almost feels like I’m intruding by reading, but your words blessed me this morning.
I purchased an MP3 of Patty Griffin’s “Up to the Mountain (MLK Song)” and also a lovely recording of “How Can I Keep From Singing.” I’m listening to them right now.
Love,
Davita
ooh which version of “How Can I keep from singing?”
