Lord, hear my cry!

Lord, hear my cry!
I am weak
and prone to wander
in my extremity
I come back to you.

Lord, hear my cry!
I am powerless
on my own
out of my control
I need your help.

Lord, hear my cry!
Give us faith
give us hope
calm our fears
soothe our hearts.

Lord, hear my cry!
Protect me please
help him to see
and know my heart.
Lord, hear my cry!

Writing

A writer's problem does not change. He himself changes and the world he lives in changes but his problem remains the same. It is always how to write truly and having found what is true, to project it in such a way that it becomes part of the experience of the person who reads it. --Ernest Hemingway

To be nobody-but-yourself--in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else--means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. --e e cummings

Novelists . . . have, on the average, about the same IQs as the cosmetic consultants at the Bloomingdale's department store. Our power is patience. We have discovered that writing allows even a stupid person to seem halfway intelligent, if only that person will write the same thought over and over again, improving it just a little bit each time. It is a lot like inflating a blimp with a bicycle pump. Anybody can do it. All it takes is time. --Kurt Vonnegut
