My philosophy is, if one can't write it a bit differently, why bother writing it at all, no matter how pretty or motivational the work -- why repeat what others say beautifully? Creation is infinite -- why limit one's self, and one's God? When writing I throw out tons of publishable material, till a phrase pops onto paper, that has a hint of something original. Then I go with it. Let the Muse lead.

Admittedly, I’m probably pretty vanilla,

I believe God has a plan...and all will work-out in His way and time. I don't believe that He wants animals to destroy one another in order to survive. We are missing something in our understanding of creation and Divine Purpose. Free Will is not interpreted correctly, speaking of man's profound relationship to his social and physical environments. We have far more control over things, than mankind sees, and when he does, is willing to consciously admit to his soul.

I wouldn’t have looked at her twice if she hadn’t smiled at me first. She wasn’t your typical pretty or the other Disney character who is completely a misfit and happy about it. But she had a quality I couldn’t place my finger on and I guess that’s all that made the difference.

Love opens the door to and for Sorrow. The choice is Sorrow’s direction. Of course, interpretation is also poetically open, dear Poet.

I may have on pretty shoes; but not do envy their luster. You don't know the price I've paid, and what I've had to suffer. All I've lost, the incredible cost, of wearing these, my shiny shoes, I found out that living a life without Christ Jesus, is a price greater than a life to lose.

The prettiest stars are the smallest ones when we observe from far, they sparkle even more at a closer distance. I suggest Sirius which is the most beautiful star in our galaxy. I hope you'll be happy to live up there, and you should return to Earth only when Humanity has become a better race.
