You are the only person on earth who can use your ability "
Zig Zaglar
......................................................
I listened intently, as he waxed with grace
marking my crosses, and ticking my boxes
you have learned well, my friend and companion
for the road is long, and full of bends
don't press the pedal, too hard or fast
relax in full measure, with imperturbable poise
see those fools go, with reckless haste
destroying our planet, with obscene disgrace
unwilling to learn, since they first took their place
grovelling like snakes, with their belly unfazed
you are different, for your name is supreme
written with deliberation, by the great unseen hand
many are those, who come and go
passing through, like frost on the glass
for you must remember, your special remit
known only to you, since the day of your birth
and share not thy secrets, with a living soul
as the vessel that fills, empties in time
take hold of your valour, in the throes of battle
knowing you are inconquerable, with the knowledge you hold
and as I take my leave of you, remind yourself religiously
the inner man within you, continues to grow

The Creator christens all men with a gift and a responsibility to pursue that gift for His glory. So many fail here.
I have observed, in the six months now that I have been affiliated with AD, that you have become more outspoken and brave with the expressions of your faith.
Of course this is only my opinion. But I should tell you that I am comforted by these expressions.
Light and Wisdom ...
Richard Lloyd Cederberg
I often stand out in the back garden at night when it is dark (I'm a late bedder) and silent and enter into audible dialogue with God. It is usually of the self punishing variety to begin with. By the time I finish, I accept that God accepted me as I am and not what I think I should be.
As ever, reflective work that compells the reader to do likewise.
