SMALL TOWN FOLKS!
REFLECTIONS..
A thought becomes one to me as soon as I finish processing it. Sometimes
it really doesn’t matter where I am, if I feel inspired to write on anything..
I just go right ahead.
I felt the move in my heart while I was still on my way to the bank. And
it really didn’t matter to me when I started writing right inside the queue. And
by the time I reached the service desk I had already written almost ten stanzas.
I continued to the supermarket and did the same while queuing up for the cashier.
I was really caught up in this incredible story. Small Town Folks was born while walking
down the streets and minding my own business.
It took me a cool ten hours, from 13h00 - 22h00 to finish this narrative.
Sometimes I struggle to grab the end of the stick. With this narrative, I am sharing with you the other side of my slice buttered on both sides!
Story telling is one of the most difficult thing to do as a writer. This
is my second raw story I have written in these pages of life apart from all the
many biblical story songs I have written to date!
I was blessed and enjoyed writing this Small Town Folks story, and hope
you too will be blessed as you walk with me on these imaginary streets of time.
God bless you all.
