Crushed underfoot trampled and soiled by the Tempter- ruined enough that he thought to forget her. Deafened by the din of crowded footsteps, she had joined the many on a path wide enough to take them there. She couldn’t hear Him softly, persistently calling; her heart was tied tight by her choice of direction. Soft spoken and undemanding, He waited. With naught but a frightful finish ahead, hope was not dead, but it was certainly lost and uncared for. Struggling, the waysides presented meager support against the forward pull. Unexpected silence snuck in swirling standstill around her feet, and then the sound her soul most longed for, He called her by name. She turned and followed. |

thank you lady, between work, and having to beg and borrow a laptop to access PIP, and my muse's stubborn resistance, it has been easier to stay away, but man oh man have I missed being here  |
