Seems to me the more I walked around questioning everything the less whole I felt, even now as I embrace the idea of faith, I still feel empty and limited. I feel narrowminded and small. I used to believe it was those who pushed their own religion onto others who were narrowminded, don't get me wrong - they are - but they had a goal in life, a sense of knowing. religion and and their faith gave them something to look forward to and work towards for their whole lives.

There I was, watching a 'uniquely' dressed individual play the piano and sing , I was bowled over with excitement ; not many of our contemporary artists show off their capabilities or musical performance range in terms of what they can do . Since the day...
