What are you thinking?

This is not the same question as ‘What are you doing?

However, the work, the art, the flavor, and the music happens when you connect the two questions and allow them to harmonize.

I know your thoughts are beautiful.

Let us see them through your hands.

Proximity

What we’re near shapes us and changes us.

What are you near? What books? What people? What ideas?

Maybe there’s a better question…What should you be near?

The answer will come to you when you pause long enough to look and listen.

Unnamed poem read and written by Ashton Gustafson

Sometimes it takes a billion stars to get the point across.

They shine the way, call our names, and beg us to come on.

There will be uncertainty on the way to Eternity.

But I believe that up His sleeve Divinity holds beauty.

Sometimes our songs can right our wrongs and say what words can’t say.

When our melodies make jubilee that’s the story of our days.

There will be uncertainty on the way to Eternity.

But when poetry lacks symmetry that’s where you’ll find its beauty.

Sometime it takes a billion storms for God to fill the seas.

Could the same be true for the me and you we call Humanity?

There will be uncertainty on the way to Eternity.

But I believe that up His sleeve Divinity holds beauty.
