Here's a literary piece created just for you.
My editor discourages me from sharing any of my other pieces,
leaving me feeling this site is not safe, tried and true.

Nevertheless, I'm tired of being disobedient, silent, unknown...
having a voice, a gift, a purpose, a calling yet keeping it to myself -
a select few can not constitute a gathering, a forum.

I believe gifts are not ours to keep!
They're God's way of reaching the masses to whom the gift truly belongs. Sharing it is our mandate with no option of retreat!

To not share, to not give, to not show up at the pages...
is to internalize something that can not be contained
causing discomfort, guilt, fear... combustion... to be courageous!

Well, despite the obstacles God will demand his just due.
You can run and hide from your calling for only so long,
which goes to show you can't keep what does not belong to you

Trust me after being pregnant for over 30 years...
It is now time to face the music, give birth to any/all of His Magnum Opus, in order to avoid any more unnecessary pains, fears, tears....

So here's to all of you who have stepped up, faced your fears...
showing up here, divulging your weaknesses, strengths, life...
precept upon precept*, piece by piece... adding purpose & value to your years.

Be conscious of such matters as you enjoy the Holidays and bring in the New Year. Hear.... Here's to You!!!
