As I restart this blog, I am reminded of 'A Writer's Prayer', written by me in 2008. It seems a good time for such a reminder, as it has already prompted me to delete two possible drafts for risking contravention of the last line of the prayer...
A Writer's Prayer
Heavenly Father,
may the cloud of words,
which is omnipresent over my head,
with your blessing, pour down
as a shower upon me.
let it percolate through my brain
and,
via the conduit of this pen,
reappear as sentences,
formed and erudite,
upon the paper in front of me.
May those sentences be the source
of pleasure to many,
provoke thought in at least a few,
and be the cause of harm to no one.
Amen
