add to the beauty. sara groves

i'm not a big fan of the sound of this song. but oh, the lyrics.
i want to add to the beauty.

we come with beautiful secrets
we come with purposes written on our hearts, written on our souls
we come to every new morning
with possibilities only we can hold, that only we can hold

redemption comes in strange place, small spaces
calling out the best of who we are
and i want to add to the beauty, to tell a better story
i want to shine with the Light
that's burning up inside

it comes in small inspirations
it brings redemption to life and work
to our lives and our work
it comes in loving community
it comes in helping a soul find it's worth

this is grace, an invitation to be beautiful

PostSecret

PostSecret is a blog and community art project started by Frank Warren. The site invites people to anonymously contribute a secret in artistic form. Each secret is a 4-by-6 postcard work of art containing a written secret. Each card is wholly unique, written on photographs, wedding invitations, or hand-made collages. The cards communicate a full range of human emotion on a small, visually engaging canvas. It's like catching a brief, forbidden glimpse through a window into the souls of all those around us.
PostSecret works with the pieces. It takes hidden, jumbled, often painful snapshots of individual lives and reassembles them into something that is utterly delicate and human. PostSecret is art at its essence. It is made up of the universals, the stuff that makes us people. It transcends race, religion, culture, age, borders, even language, giving us the stories of those we'll never know. PostSecret can be racy, painful and ugly at times. It is, after all, an expression of our deep, raw passions and emotions. But it's also breathtaking visual poetry. [relevant magazine]
