Come and See / True love

Alicia asked if I had a blog, and I kinda did / do, but now it's official and Sarah and Heidi can follow me and vice versa.

I've been drastically pulled to the sounds of The Decemberists for quite some time now. Thanks to Jason. Just about every song I hear from them has been perfection, or at least just right for my listening ears.

So I love music. Love. I was thinking about that thing I read or heard or something.. from someone.. about how we overuse (and misuse) the word "love" in English. I guess, from what I know, that there are multiple ways of expressing joy or gratitude for things and people and stuffs and events and items.. in other languages, so that they don't use the word "love" for anything other than intimacy. I've been practicing not using it in any way that would detract from its personality, which is intimacy. So, I love music. It's not just a saying. It's not just something I quoted. It's a connection I feel. It's a connection that, without it, would leave me withered and isolated, unsure of purpose and direction. Oh, what a gracious gift from God it is...
