Invisible

What if this the most important message I have ever received? Floating somewhere in the air I breathe? Caught between Heaven and my free will? How much would it take to ignore it? I could stop writing. Leave my office, run away into my fantasies. Read a book, eat some lunch, watch T.V. I have done it successfully before. How easy it is to turn away from the sound. Your voice is easily muted then forgotten. I am inadequate, distracted, unfinished. I am as invisible as the sound of your words. It is so easy to be invisible. No risk, no failure, no mistakes, Perfection only I can see. Why are you invisible? Why are you whispering to me? You are making yourself visible. I can hear you and I do not like it. I do not want it. Your words remain a mystery. Given only to me. Why do I hear you, while others do not? No one believes me when I try to report. Of all the things I have learned about you Your character, form, and function, I both least and most understand the invisibility. Standing out in the crowd got you crucified. So why should I step out? Make myself known as your scribe? Can listening to you be taught? Where are you when I hear your words? You see, I want to touch you. See your face, hold your hand. Talk to you while you tell me your plan. You exist in my faith, but I hear your call. And wonder why?

Congratulations, and excellent post, Mary. I love the flow of the words and the impact of the message. I am very proud of you. The descriptive excellence is lovely and sends terrific images. The theme of "Invisible," stands out, and the tone moves the piece down the page with much grace. Great job! Have a fantastic day, and God's richest grace and blessings to you always. –Professor, Ambassador, Dr. Joseph S. Spence Sr. (Epulaeryu Master)!

I cannot express fully how much your encouragement means to me. I have been writing since I was 8 years old, but never thought I was any good. I write and write and rewrite over and over. My coach tells me I remind him of Leanard Cohan. I have so much I wish to share. Thank you
