It’s no big deal–a hater’s worst nightmare, and the second call to speak. It is symbolic, and a response to the statement I made from the San Diego Writers Festival Panel. And I’m giggling at how God reminds me of things. If you knew the full details, you may laugh too.
But that NO was so unexpected
That sure thing
I got such high hopes
That I forgot about the hope
The far off hope I put
out in the world
It’s my work, realized
My dream, serialized
My steps, materializing
Even as I tried to prize that sure thing
And that YES was so unexpected
I wonder how the details played out
I had zero plans to do anything but submit
I didn’t plan on being accepted
That’s how far off the hope was put
out in the submission process
And now my work will realize
And the dream will open eyes
And I will stop trying to size
the infinite down into plans I can see
