Shelton Burch's status update
Shelton Burch
is on page 22 of 299 of I Thirst: I’m very quickly falling for this book 😄. What a fun read so far! 😄. I love the writer’s kind of goofy style of writing it, which balanced between my own style of goofy but with periods of description that border on poetic. 😊. - Through page 22

“Maturity is so often considered to be synonymous with ‘adult.’ But I truly feel that maturity may be defined by the ability to be both an adult and a child.”

“Icy pillars of serenity, spun from airy mist, entered my quiet vision in echoes of worlds unknown.”

“As for clichés, they’re an illusion. When you think about it, anything could be considered a cliché. It’s when you really bring truth to something that it becomes original…which may," he smiled wryly, "itself be considered a cliché.”

And times and triumphs mark,
But the men signed of the cross of Christ
Go gaily in the dark.”

“And, as I had gazed at my surroundings, at the muted, yet triumphant, colors splashed in joyful serenity over the immaculate stone floor, at the profiles of my fellow parishioners bent in prayer, and finally, up above, at the flickering lights held in a soft gray ceiling like chandeliers in an ancient palace, I realized that my thoughts had been transferred to Someone Else.”
