CREATIVE CORNER
The inspiration...the story...the meaning...
I wrote this song during a time in my life when I had actually stopped playing music. I was 21, and had just had a crisis of faith, walked away from my internship at the church, my position in a missions organization, and my future as I knew it. This was the hardest but most important season of my life. It was a time when I finally discovered my value as a human apart from what I do. I was authentic with myself for the first time--questioning what I believed versus what I'd always been told. It was a terrifying and awe-some time of facing that reality that I, and every other person, exist as a mysteriously and paradoxically significant insignificant part of this universe. This song tells the story of how my mind opened up to grieving and celebrating the mysteries of the unknown universe.
