THE UNIVERSE -- AND FRIENDS -- RESPOND

In addition to my girl Nakachi, my other Ace, RHD responded to my July 23 post with this thought:

That's what I'm talking about.

Like in Parable of the Sower, by Octavia Butler where the main character creates her own spiritual path based on the idea that the only constant in life is change and Change is God. It's my favorite book, besides maybe Song of Solomon.


Yes! Yes! This is it. The only constant in life is change and change is Good and God !!!!!
Ooowee! I'm so excited. I'm so thankful that after such a long time shaping this book, waiting waiting waiting to be shown the true message in this novel, it is finally here. This is what I'm going after -- that change is necessary and change is good in order that one may have Life! And how wild is it that as I gather my short stories together for my chapbook the common thread that binds them together is CHANGE! Personal change. Personal transformation! Not looking outside of yourself for the answers but looking within. Looking Life in the face and doing what YOU need to do. Not looking to others to change, not looking for situations to change, but looking within. I've been writing about it all along and never even identified this common theme.

Oh, I'm so excited. If I can just get it done .... dear God, help me to get it done.
Thank you, my wonderful wonderful friends.
I love you both.
