Didn't Have Words For

The piano became a safe place for me as a child to figure out stuff that I didn’t have words for.

-- Linford Detweiler

There are things we do, not just because we do them, but because they help us orient ourselves to things we otherwise don't know how to relate to or understand.  For there to be a place or a thing that can make us feel safe enough to do this kind of thing is truly a gift.  Perhaps it is out of such gifts that we become capable of giving to others.

...this certainly seems to be the case for Linford.
