I turn to the hymnology of my Faith to help transport me somewhere other than this decrepit realization we find ourselves in presently.
I do not have the answers to everything. I only tap into what works for me, that's all.
I feel we're on the brink of something. But have to believe in my heart it will be a beneficent outcome for all who sense being under the thumb of the so-called' powers that be.
