The Lays of Language

The Lays of Language is place where Goodness, Truth, and Beauty are sought and explored. The name has significant meaning for my life. Lays are old narrative poems.1 This represents my longing for beauty and the old ways of life found in a place very distant from our modern world. Language represents the core rationality that underlies all of existence. God’s world is one of divine speech revealed to us in a universal language that permeates all things. This is the lens through which I think and write about books, poetry, art, philosophy, and theology. I hope you will join me in this adventure!
