The words and musical notes I hear are indelibly etched in every region of my consciousness, but they are not mine. I am rather the recorder with an open heart to hear the music which is the product of God's most sacred thoughts when he rests. This union for which I was chosen is rare, not of my making, and for a purpose that is unknowable.

All things that sustain life are far bigger than me.

The reason I believe in God is that the day He created me, I was there.
