We are not to renounce our senses and experience, nor (that which is the undoubted Word of God) our natural Reason.

The touch was slight, barely anything, but I felt it in several parts of my body. “Got it.” His grin spread.

You attend the shows and this is the liturgy. You're interested in relics -- guitar picks, set lists, the sweaty napkin applied to His brow. You set up shrines in your room. It's not just about the music. It's about who you are when you listen to the music and who you wish to be and the way a particular song can bridge that gap, can make you feel the abrupt thrill of absolute faith.

There are other times when I don't have any ideas and I'll go into a room and close the door and I sit and sweat it out for a day or a month and eventually I come up with [something].
