Earlier years saw a keen interest for Theatre Studies and Performance by author. Inadvertently it might be said writing developed after two auditions failed to gain parts in plays. On reflection, author feels auditioners were right in their choice and that the author was not the best person to play either part. At the time you feel disappointment.

“... so our customary practice of prayer was brought to mind: how through our ignorance and inexperience in the ways of love we spend so much time on petition. I saw that it is indeed more worthy of God and more truly pleasing to him that through his goodness we should pray with full confidence, and by his grace cling to him with real understanding and unshakeable love, than that we should go on making as many petitions as our souls are capable of.”
