As I turned the page, the words seemed to disappear . . . it looked like the words were fading in front of my eyes until they were not there, they were just gone!
WHAT was going on? The story to that point had been confusing, but interesting and I wanted to find out how it turned out, to finish the story, see if I was right about the “good guys” and the “bad guys,” BUT— the next page was blank!
I enjoy mysteries – but, I was NOT enjoying this mystery!
The words were there when I started, I know, because I kind of flipped through the pages to make sure there were not any pages stuck together before I began reading and I would have noticed if there were blank pages!
Perplexed, I sat the book down – maybe I will come back later to see if the book “fixes” itself and puts the words back or maybe it is a trick of my tired mind and I will see words when I look next time, later . . . this is so strange.
———-[…] this is the introduction to a book i am considering “trying” to write –
a work in progress . . . with many traumas of varying intensities and life experiences revealing a Power beyond explanation, I am more open and less defined than in years past - raised in a fundamentalist Judeo-Christian home, I spent my young adult years searching for “truth” in many places and “unlearning” much of what I “knew” and that has drawn me to explore many other paths and gain from the journeys of others.
My childhood was spent living in many places in the United States due to my family's music or ministry—The Hicks Family, made up of Olan and Barbara Hicks, my younger brothers, Clint and Chuck and me, sang in different combos (put out an album) - we do so no longer professionally . . . but, until my parents’ passing, a visit to a family gathering in Searcy would bring you to hear some harmonizing and foot-tapping sounds!
Music still speaks to my heart. Photography and graphic design are primary aspects of the path God has me walking - new lessons come often as I observe and ponder the world around me and learn from creation—so exciting!
