When I clear my mind and let the music take over, my hands seem to move on their own, and my voice utters words I haven't premeditated. This is pure instinct. It's like riding a wave. You just take a deep breath, hop on, and hang on as long as you can. That's basically how I songwrite when I'm composing impromptu pieces. It's a lot like channeling. Or free associating. And it's super fun, because anything can happen!

For if the attribute "Christian" can be given sense from Eph. 2, then it means reconciled and reconciling, triumphant over walls and removing the debris, showing solidarity with the "enemy" and promoting not one's own peace of mind but "our peace"... When this peace is deprived of its social, national, or economic dimensions, when it is distorted or emasculated so much that only "peace of mind" enjoyed by saintly individuals is left -- then Jesus Christ is being flatly denied. To propose, in the name of Christianity, neutrality or unconcern on questions of international, racial, or economic peace -- this amounts to using Christ's name in vain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence gives consent. [Lat., Qui tacet, consentire videtur.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48678]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence gives consent. [Lat., Qui tacet, consentire videtur.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding on the back of the tiger ended up inside. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13658]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding on the back of the tiger ended up inside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take your life in your own hands and what happens?
