words
I was astounded by talent on Tuesday night at an International Poetry slam. - incredible, performance poetry that is hard to describe but it left you lost for words - not lacking words but no words sufficed to say WOW. My partcular favourite was Queen Sheba - "poetry does not belong to you".... or maybe it was the duet from the Vancouver team and the line that stayed with me.... "we say lets just be friends as if somehow that was a dead end?"
So I'm thinking of the power of the spoken word,
storytelling,
how creative communication gifts us so much more than the content of the words themselves.
And via a discussion about confession of sins I got to realising that words not only open up and unfurl and express, they alson nail down and set boundaries round things.
My friend sent me an interesting article about athlete and confession of faith - what that can look and sound like ... the precious heart of doing it ... athlete article
communcation... such a textbook word for a beautiful thing...

apologies for spellings and failed link... dont quite know how i managed it with one and not with the other... anyways I've tried to post this 4 times... and now its worked i'm leaving it as it is!
emma, don't push yourself on the technology thing!! did wonder what was going on with two identical posts ;o). liked the athlete article. Wasn't James Hill who always responded to "is this Christan music?" with "you mean will it go to heaven when it dies?!". [by the way typo on the athlete link - i'd leave it if i were you!!].
later!
yes saw the typo but really really didnt want to lose it all for a second time so left it..... however why didnt the poetry slam link work like the athlete one did? can you help?
