Quotes by Amena Brown (?)

“I learned that my boom box was awesome at recording, but I didn't know my soul was also good at it and that my heart would remember all the things that would ever break it. Most recordings have a way of fading over time and losing their quality, but the moments that become the record our souls keep manage to stay so vivid.”
― Amena Brown, How to Fix a Broken Record: Thoughts on Vinyl Records, Awkward Relationships, and Learning to Be Myself

“if God is the DJ and my life is the dance floor, then he is in constant control of the songs that play. Sometimes right as I’m getting into the groove of a particular tune, Mr. DJ of All DJs switches the cut on me, forcing me to find a completely new rhythm to dance to.”

“God is a fascinating Artist. He is the DJ who scratches and mixes our “breaks” to match the rhythm of his love. He is the Master of montage and collage, creating fantastic patchwork out of every moment we experience.”
― Amena Brown, Breaking Old Rhythms: Answering the Call of a Creative God
