Um and I think
The challenge today is to encourage people to see all these things as open chapters, as you said.
Um, I think that's a that's a great way of looking at it.
There because they're all resources for the church in different ways.
Now you brought up something really interesting.
You talked about performance.
When you write, and I know your songs are used in uh by many different audiences.
Do you think, well, gosh, is this more for performance?
Is this more of a liturgical song that could be sung by a choir?
When you compose, are you composing for different purposes in a sense?
That's interesting because I I spoke with a couple of liturgical musicians.
They were all excited that I was interviewing you.
One person asked me, uh this this is sort of uh to your point.
Is it more inspiration or is it more about writing to task?
Right, like you you you say like something comes to your mind.
Uh and you say, Oh my gosh, I wanna write that verse from Jose or Oh my gosh, I ha I have to write a verse from Jose Is it it sounds like both and, right?
Do you ever find yourself kind of editing yourself as a Catholic, like, oh, maybe I shouldn't use that word, uh, because it's not gonna be as accessible to our Protestant brothers and sisters?
That's interesting.
So more you would say experiential or inspirational than didactic, like this is why you should
That's really beautiful.
