“I was watching BET one night, and they were interviewing a man about jazz music. He said jazz music was invented by the first generation out of slavery. I thought that was beautiful because, while it is music, it is very hard to put on paper; it is so much more a language of the soul … The first generation out of slavery invented jazz music. It is a music birthed out of freedom. And that is the closest thing I know to Christian spirituality. A music birthed out of freedom. Everybody sings their song the way they feel it, everybody closes their eyes and lifts up their hands.”
Donald Miller
got this quote from a book called "blue like jazz"! its an awesome book to read! and on the front cover of the book there're some subtitles saying "Non-Religious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality" haha. so its pretty funny!
