"fiction ... when written well, sometimes illuminates the human experience better than some factual accounts." -
JD - quotation
The time has come to set our own rules
now is when we decide what is important,
when we define priorities
it may seem unimportant to others
that matters little,
they will be important to us
We are in charge of writing a single story
our version of the truth, an honest appraisal
it is not supposed to be what others think
When our painting is done
we will not ask strangers if the colors are correct
