"Why is this happening to me?"

"All I can tell you is that you chose this for yourself."

"Why would I choose such a life, I am confused."

"I cannot explain to you why, I only know that it has been written."

"When has it been written?"

"Many lives ago.  What you experience, you have decided."

"What of the tears I cry?  What of the pain I endure?  Are you telling me I purposely planned this life for myself?"

"Yes, that is exactly what I am telling you."

"If I had planned this, when exactly did I plan this?"

"Before you arrived here, right after your death."

"My death?  But I am still living . . ."

"Yes, you are living now and you have lived before."

"You speak in riddles."

"I only speak from my heart, you know this to be true in your own heart."

"Can I ask another question, please?"

"Of course, you can ask me anything you like."

"Am I living a good life?"

"Yes, my child. You have accomplished what you must this time around and you will accomplish so much more."

"Thank you, thank you for hearing me, my prayers."

"You are most welcome, it is what I am here for."

Well to be honest at first it sounded like me talking to myself in the morning, and wondered how you overheard   honest!  

I wish to think it is a conversation with God, or His Holiness, The Dali Lama, and possibly through meditation.

The idea of the continual rebirthing of a human body until the soul has reached a state of perfection, then back with its source (God or the "Universal Soul") is a conversation I will have any time with any one.

Good jobber Suzie Q!

Thank you so much for seeing and reading, I am learning so much.

lol@Mysteria!

Don't ya hate when all the voices talk at once?

And Susie? This IS marvelous!

Quite an unexpected scenario, and there was never a moment of confusion as to who was speaking.

What a fresh approach to this!

I'm so proud of you!

LOL at Serenity..."all the voices..."

It does get to be a little loud in the quiet.

Excellent piece of work, Sue.

Well done!


Writing dialogue this way is just to get the feel for people speaking to each other and to make it natural without the 'he said breathlessly' and 'she replied with a grin'. Sometimes just writing what people say to each other is more natural than adding the 'writers stuff'. Then you can go back and edit the piece.
