Lyrical Living - When words and/or music flow beautifully and speak to or from my heart.
The beautiful lyrics of several songs have resonated deeply with me. Over the last year one shared with me by my brother-in-law spoke of our journey to care for many children in foster care. The song was "Kings and Queens" by the new Audio Adrenaline. How deeply it connected with me. To this tune I have cried and sung out loudly in praises and pleas.

Lyrical Living
My head and my heart are often full of thoughts and feelings that paint pictures in my mind.
Pictures. Words often turn into pictures.
Sometimes these pictures are beautiful and serene. Sometimes they are bits and pieces that begin to fit together like an intricate and beautiful puzzle. And sometimes...they are just pieces...waiting...to be put together...and to become a beautifully completed puzzle. Kind of like us...being fit together in the King's glorious puzzle.
With all of these images, it seems that the outlet for them is often inadequate. My mouth opens and the beautiful linking phrases and intentions come out in pitiful drops of words that fall dreadfully short of the feeling tied to them, the feelings that are resonating in my soul.
