To start off with i have been a fan for a long time and have read most of your work and have to say thank you. You are an inspiration to all especially me and i hope that my small part in getting friends and family to read your work will help them as you have helped me. I hope that one day your journey will lead you to visit New Zealand or Australia and I look forward to that day.
The quote from the Valkyries is so very true. God is around us in everything we do, say and write. He is what guides us in our lives both directly and inderectly but as with everything the devil is never too far behind. The devil hides its ugly face in some of the beauty of God. It has the ability to confuse us into believing that he is God. When people write, the most beutiful work can be guided by the devil. The greed and power behind influencing masses is a direct result of the devil whispering in the authors ears. If the author is motivated purely by financial gain and power then the work will be doomed to fail. In addition to this what we say can be fuelled by mallicious thoughts influenced by the devil out of jealousy, fear and cruelty.
I believe as long as we are willing to accept our flaws and acknowledge the presence of the devil then we can have an awareness and fight against his influence. Having faith in the beauty of the world and God will help the words in which we say and write, and the actions that we do be pure of heart.
in the beginning there was word. at the core there IS word, beyond words is U and I.

In this religion of “god” and “devil”, it seems that devil is son’s god, isn’t it?
So, why couldn’t it use its father’s language?

Since there is no part of this world that is not of me, I must my destroy my concept of God in order to defeat the devil.
Seeing things in black and white will never let us fully explore the beautiful palette of the universe.
That quote reminded me of a song called “The Devil’s Thrill” because of it’s backstory.

We should see..
what is worth saying,
and what is not,
when you can hurt somebody,
just don’t say it,
it’s wrong.
…….
try to open your heart,
see this love
somebody has inside.
…….
Don’t say cruel things,
don’t judge,
let someone be who he is,
help him find..
the way to make this world better,
to love life.
…….
love
