I love to work with words. They can be so powerful in sharing ideas across cultures and the world and yet so powerless to express even the simplest sentiment.
I work with words in my professional career as a researcher. Here I enjoy working with them in much more open ways through poetry.
I also write songs. My other enjoyment is music. I play a variety of instruments – none to with any great expertise. What I enjoy is the pleasure of the sound. The taste and vibration of the clarinet in my mouth – the resonance of a guitar on my knee. All of which is another way of communicating across boundaries.
For my writing on a more direct spiritual theme, come and visit me at: http://leavenraiseandprove.wordpress.com/
My writing is hear for you to enjoy. Please let me know your thoughts. Comments are very much appreciated.

David, thanks for coming over to my blog. Always interested to know how people found it, and what they liked, if you have a spare moment. I’m involved with restorative practices and restorative justice here in the States that are based on the New Zealand model.
