bones sinking like stones
all that we've fought for
homes, places we've grown
all of us are done for

we live in a beautiful world
yeah we do

we live in a beautiful world

there's nothing here to run from
cause here, everybody here's got somebody to lean on

• Pretty Optimistic For a Pessimist

• Beautiful when I feel like it

• Happy when nobody's sad

• A Christian and hanging on

• A black rainbow.

• Lost.

• Funny when people have nothing else to laugh at.

• Smart when the time is right.

• Terrible at explaining things.

• Too quiet for my own good.

• Too sensitive for my own good.

• Stronger than I think I am.

• Bold at the wrong moments.

• A good person with a lot of bad faults.

• A walking contradiction.

The Writer's Prayer

O pen my mind, Lord. Grant me the talent to write with clarity and style, so my words go down rich and smooth, like fine wine, and leave my reader thirsty for more.

O pen my heart, Lord. Grant me the sensitivity to understand my characters--their hopes, their wants, their dreams--and help me to confer that empathy to my reader.

O pen my soul, Lord, so I may be a channel to wisdom and creativity from beyond my Self. Stoke my imagination with vivid imagery and vibrant perception.

B ut most of all, Lord, help me to know the Truth, so my fiction is more honest than actuality and reaches the depths of my reader's soul.

W rap these gifts with opportunity, perseverance, and the strength to resist those who insist it can't be done.

Amen. -- Sandy Trit
