It has been a long sleep. Though I lived, I was asleep. I was oblivious to my surroundings caring only for that which kept me. Awoke. It is summer and one would have thought, I would have enjoyed same instead of hibernating. The heat though was though one had cold water poured on the body at 5 a.m. on a wintry day. My brains are not fried.
In truth, I had to take break. I was burnt out. I refused publishing what was already written. In all that time i just observed. I observed through weddings, funerals, christenings, retirements, postings, churches and their treatment of their congregation, births, just name it. In reality I am enjoying the break. A break that is allowing me to find myself; to reinvigorate myself; to speak truth to what is logic and give credit where it is due…. More of a Phoenix than a volcano!
I owe it to you my readers; your support is marvelous. I will touch on something bothering me. Respect for the woman. I have written on this subject before and i will not hesitate to write again. Seven letters: R-E-S-P-E-C-T. The road is narrow that brings glory but wide that brings shame. I have found my voice. I am back. I am #SILENTNOISES
Let us make some NOISE!!!
