Discussion of "My conversations with God" by laurendobbs

Wonderful piece, laurendobbs!

I really liked "God's" dialogue because it wasn't coming from the religious or Biblical God that I (and probably everyone else) expected.

This story is about something that I personally believe in, quite strongly; that "God" is Life and the definitive charateristic of life is Love.

God is not a supreme, omiscient diety; rather, God is simply the immortal part of every living being. The part that some call the soul, others -the subconscious mind. Regardless of name, you found God and I'm certain you will meet your writing goals by following "his/her" advice and guidance....;o)

I loved the piece. This has the making of a great origin-thread for a collection of collaborations if we could get our fellow mashers off our collaborative butts...

God: So, harris, why is your butt stuck in your chair?

harris: I ain't perfect, you oughta know.

God: My bad.

lol, alharris, thats a brilliant idea. There were some other convos but they were a bit too personal.

Thankyou writerwannabe. Definitely should give the actual book a try, it'll rock your socks.

I loved this.

It is heartfelt, warim, tender. You really captured the fear one feels when faced with the choices they pursue in life. Yours just happen to be the strength of your writing, and I admire you for that.

God is real. I love him and strive to give him thanks in my everyday life....for who I am, for who I will become. I wish you well with your endeavors.

Hi laurendobbs hope you don't mind me mashing this - am new to SM and have only mashed 2 stories and both of them have been yours! I've really enjoyed reading your chapters. This is very direct and powerful. Really got me thinking.
Think alharris' suggestion is a good one - would be interested to hear what the other mashers are saying to God!
(Although don't expect God to post a chapter back, or even a comment... but you never know)

Go for it alsoran! Look forward to seeing your additions.

I can relate, Lauren - God's got a way different perspective on our work than we'll ever have.

Beautiful and very touching. I can relate, but maybe in a different way. Thanks for writing:)

Lauren, you touched something in all of us. In one way or another, when we are seemingly alone, we have had conversations (or would like such) with someone other than ourselves...someone smarter than us who may or may not offer the answers we seek...but inspire us to keep asking the questions nonetheless.
