There is a contest I want to enter,
but I don't know what it's for.
I want to win something,
walk down the aisle
when my name is called,
mount the stage, take the mic,
and, in a courageous attempt to speak before tears take over,
thank God and my Master
for awakening me
to this moment of pure and perfect gratitude.

I will take a breath,
words beginning to form within me
like bubbles from the bottom
of a freshly poured glass of champagne,
but I will say nothing,
stunned.

In this oasis of love,
poised in perfect silence,
long before the first impulse to express,
everyone wins,
everyone receives exactly what they came here for.

OK, it's contest time!

I just found out from my publisher (www.Lulu.com) that they are sponsoring a contest for their authors. It's a simple deal. The author who sells the most copies of his/her book in January wins $1,500. Second place is $750. Third place is $500.

All you need to do is buy a copy for $14.97 + shipping. If I win, I'll donate the prize money to TPRF, a non-profit humanitarian foundation. Everyone wins! You in?

Buy the book
