“Only the lover sings,” wrote St. Augustine of Hippo.
What is it about divine love that is a well-spring for song?

Psalm 96 reads:
“O sing to the Lord a new song;
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, bless his name,
Tell of his salvation from day to day.”
What does it mean to commit to creating, to re-creating- to singing a new song, even when the failure of the old one is still bitter on our lips?
What kind of courage does it take to raise our voices in praise? To walk the labyrinth of faith when we’re not sure what the center entails?
In this blog and this website, I share my academic, spiritual, musical journey as an integrated whole. In this space, musicology is tied up with theology, contemplation is in dialogue with social justice, and community is where we learn to be individuals.

Welcome.
