Slam Poetry!
Thank you, Deb! I didn't even think about posting slam poetry, but your post reminded me of it. I absolutely love slam poetry. Go to YouTube and do a search for it... there are thousands to choose from. I'm posting links to two of my favorites. I apologize ahead of time for some (possibly) offensive language.

Do you feel God when Mojgani performs this, Julie??? The yearning is so true.
(Feel free to explore the phrase "feel God"!)
I LOVE Jill Scott. Have you heard any of her songs? I think you would like "Golden." It is a favorite of mine.
Deb: yes! Mojgani's emotion is so raw and honest. Yearning is the perfect word to describe him, and I definitely know that desperate, breathless, frustrating yearn to "feel God."
Sarah: I know a few of her songs, but not many. She has an amazing voice. And I do know that I love her poetry. :-) I'll look up that song.
