Rolling Water

Yeah. For those who have seen the blog previous to today, you may be wondering at the change. For those visiting the blog for the first time today and afterwards, the name has changed from Rushing Waters to Rolling Waters. See this post for more details.

So, why the change? Well, a few reasons. I have not really been satisfied with the idea conveyed with the word “rushing.” It felt too…rushed, too forceful, and a little bit dangerous. That isn’t what I wanted to convey about myself.

I wanted something more poetic and natural sounding. I ran across exactly what I was looking for in the D&C, section 121 verse 33. The phrase comes from a question posed, “How long can rolling waters remain impure?” which has profound and personal meaning for me.

“Rolling Waters” is much more poetic, much more natural and softer sounding, feels less dangerous and more like the image in the blog header. I would much rather be connected with thoughts of life-giving, nourishing streams than with potentially destructive floods.

I have finally got the blog to appear the way I want it. I began with the Paalam theme, which has some good bones. Then I went hunting for an image that best captures all the things I love most about this world. I couldn’t find one that incorporated mountains, rain, falling water, AND driving at night, so I settled on the one above. After a little Photoshop work, I got it to fit in the space provided and…

…I’m right at home.
