In a world that wants power like a machine gun,
power like a bomber plane,
power like a gated fence to keep the hungry out,
I want power like a seed—
power that will crack me open and grow something good;
power like an open door,
an invitation that says, “Come on in;”
power that feels like a strong spine with a soft heart.
—Rev. Sarah (Are) Speed, excerpt from “Power Like a Seed”

His philosophy is derived from the cathartic Jazz funerary tradition in New Orleans, Louisiana, called the Dirge and Second Line.
