RE: Finish my freewrite, earn steembasicincome shares and upvotes!
Welcome to steemit and thanks for your contribution, a finely written gem full of poetry. In your story a wasp becomes "a yellow zebra piranha of the skies", it's not common to find such creative descriptions. Just, I've to confess I didn't understand how Oliver has been suddenly spared :-) One last thing..why don't you join us and freewrite? It's fun and I think you would like it!
In the biblical account St Paul meets Jesus on the Damascus road - he leaves like a modern day Saddam Hussain to kill his enemies and on being blinded by a light from above then joins them.
That was the play on the use of Oliver being an Atheist and walking towards Damascus.
A miracle occurs but then when asked about it he writes it off as mere chance.
Thanks for the feedback - I am new to SteemIt so just finding my way around - how do I join you ;o)
Thanks for the "exegesis" my friend. I know about Paul, since I'm Christian and have a special connection with Malta, an island where he preached and of which he's the patron. Just follow me, if you like what I do (there's a button if you go on my account up there). I would be eager to read more of your works, hence I followed you already days ago. I also invite you to partecipate to @mariannewest freewrite project. I'm sure you may find it very much in your wheelhouse 😉
Thanks I’d already followed you, similar to Twitter I would always follow any one who followed me, seems like a basic courtesy. I love Malta, I was nearly born there and involved in the building of the new hospital circa 2000/2001 - great place
Next time you go there tell me, I'll offer you a pastizz and a glass of refreshing cisk! 😉
Ah that’s a great offer, Cisk and people who like Gozo, fond memories from diving with Louis - sadly my main reason for going became SCUBA and I lost my eyesight due to the bends ( DCI ) in 2010. Very lucky to be writing this but haven’t made it back since, but if I ever do i’ll Come knocking ;-)
Please do. My wife is Maltese hence I'm there as much as possible.. I'm sad to know about your dci .. we may dedicate ourselves to just eat which i don't mind 😉
one of those things - dived from 1986 through to 2010 - 3 accidents - 2 when I started and one when I ended - its not too bad given the amount of time I've spent under water ;o) Food it is ;o)
