*Image of A Universal Star by Private Stock. A Penitent Soliloquy It is in junctures like these that I encounter myself traversing a meadow of spring colors just yon the lea where purples and pinks contest further plus blues delivering pursuit for an actual take. In the completeness of the stretched out rivalry as its foremost spectator wavered I in gratefulness for its breathtaking rainbowed exhibition of magnificence existed through our ambitious custodian in heaven. Reluctantly, yielded I to my reason for it lay just round the bend farther than the footing of lowly chaparrals fronting the forest boundaries like sentries of some consecrated hearth. Unexpectedly, a window of circumstance burst open from the back of me and as slightly revolved I, beaming rays shot back hosting a flurry of blue jays landing within the shrubs thrashing about till only a chorale of tweets were heard. Again, found I a pensive motivation rallied to fruition by song, nonetheless, the journey must I and the pathway didst return me towards shallowed trees until giant redwoods rounded themselves about me. A laden rock, the purpose of me being at that spot, was a makeshift altar stone where cometh I to pray, amidst the ambiance of consolation, the serenity of solitude and isolation factors in profound deliberative candor. All that I've seen and heard this day, truly believe I to bear witness of your awesome omnipotence, your overwhelming omnipresence, and your omniscient being overall, I come humbly before you in supplication. On penitent knees, I beseech you oh heavenly father as I look upon thy countenance I pray, forgive me of the iniquities that shamefully bore I and give me the strength to shed off the wiles of evil so that I may be your good and faithful servant, unto you, Lord the Father, Lord the Son, and Lord the Holy Spirit, I pray, Amen and Amen! 2022 January 29 *10th Place* Repent and Believe ~~Regina McIntosh: Judged 2022 January 30
