“IT’S AN INFINITE SINGLE CALL; IT’S THE ENERGY ABOVE. CONFISCATED CONFUSION, AND THE MESSAGE IS LOVE.” – “SPOKEN TO YOU AND YOU” BY JD STAHL Though I soon became a child who sought to be OF the world like so many of the other children my age, I did so carefully. I had become so accustomed to my language of energy, I found that the only way that I could be simultaneously IN and OF the world was to connect them with a corresponding purpose.

The Day the Music Paused “WELL, THAT'LL BE THE DAY WHEN YOU SAY GOODBYE. YES, THAT'LL BE THE DAY WHEN YOU MAKE ME CRY. YOU SAY YOU'RE GONNA LEAVE; YOU KNOW IT'S A LIE.” – “THAT'LL BE THE DAY” BY BUDDY HOLLY In my small town of Boyertown, Pennsylvania, there was an old, single-screen movie theater that was built in 1912.
