If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don’t have integrity, nothing else matters. (Harvey Mackay)
When people learn I had two books published, The Curse Under the Freckles and Stinky, Rotten Threats, they often ask if I get writer’s block. Uh, yeah, plenty of times. Especially when I try to write sunshine when I have mud in my shoes, socks, and brain. Heart and head, mind and pen need to be connected first. Somehow.
I tread water on a Sunday afternoon as dark skies invade the blue. The dark wins for now. I know blue lives on the other side, but for how long? I heard news earlier about someone who was accused of a crime. From what I’d understood about the situation, it seems to be a setup. Why? I don’t know.
Save the world—if only I could. Law. Three letters in one word is nowhere near enough. My paper remains blank. No answers.
One hug for a friend. Hope. Many prayers.
In the meantime, I swim through water or through injustice. Giving up is not an option. Peace and integrity are. May they win.
