I turn to the hymnology of my Faith to help transport me somewhere other than this decrepit realization we find ourselves in presently.

I do not have the answers to everything. I only tap into what works for me, that's all.

I feel we're on the brink of something. But have to believe in my heart it will be a beneficent outcome for all who sense being under the thumb of the so-called' powers that be.

a small wave comes over me. Hmm, picturing myself in that environment.

Some days I simply want to run away from this pressure that's being put upon us. A body gets weary. 'Course, not feasible with my current commitments to 'this' world.

They'd most likely show me the door due to 'my mouth runneth over'. 😄
