Over the past week I have read much about the need to seek after our dreams, truly seek, and the need to sew seeds for harvest. These scripture readings come at a time when my mind it whirling, seeking the will of God. My dream is to write a book... I do believe that I have sown seeds, seeds of love, hope, prosperity, and friendship, and I am patiently waiting for the harvest. My dream, on the other hand, must have "work" applied. One can dream all day about a desire, but nothing will come of it unless he/she puts forth effort to make it happen. My daughter Jamie has reminded me of this for years. Yes, I said years!!!
I began reading a book by Charles Krauthammer earlier this week. I am finding it amazing, but I also find it to be perplexing, because of the style. My mind was reeling until I realized that what I am reading are his articles. Hmmmm How much have I written over the years that could be assembled into a book? Much of my life and the lives of my family members has been written, and the writings could possibly be positioned into the format of a "tell all" book. NOT!! It could be a mystery of sorts or, even, a comic book. After all, the characters would be Claudette, Jamie, Johnny, Jason, Chrystal, Booger, David, Grandma Ila, Grandmas Elsie, Richard, Tony, David, and me. How much better could it get? Not to forget Bob and his children and all the friends we have amassed. No one would be exempt; all could be the target of a section created just for them. Hey, I am beginning to like this idea! And, on top of all these characters, I have had thousands of students! Ah, yes!!! My wheels are turning... No one would be exempt from his or her own "chapter" of sorts.
This book idea is becoming an all encompassing non-fiction reflection. I can not wait to get started. This is fair warning, if you do not want to be included, say so now or forever hold your piece. Watch out world!
