it tells me that im doing something right… i founded my talk (retrospectively) on my work as prophecy. not just because “what a song can do” made sense with the completion of my project, but also because i am the prophecy. how can i trust that someone else would have found these notes and at the same time, also find it urgent to have them read. what other student would have had the same respect for the notes of our mothers. was my mother training me for the kind of work i have been called to do?
