Make Me Think

A blog dedicated to thought-provoking language. I find that the power of words is vastly underrated by my generation, what with texting and Facebook and just an overall lack of interest. Powerful language is prevalent and prominent in so many different sources, so I plan to post from poetry, prose, drama, lyrics, sacred and secular, fiction and nonfiction. I hope that by blogging about this, I can spark interest from fellow literary lovers such as myself, but also in those people who are not avid readers or do not have time to read for pleasure. I just want the overwhelming, sublime, and unbelievable emotions that word can instill in me to be felt in everyone who reads this blog. Hence I will not post my own thoughts on what I post, because I want each individual to experience his/her own emotions while reading, and let the words speak for themselves and make you think.

Hard weather, says the old man. So let it be. Wrap me in the weathers of the earth, I will be hard and hard. My face will wash rain like the stones.
