My Public Prayer~ This is my public prayer, my on-my-hands-and-knees plea to the altruists, realists and optimists. Ive been many things in my life, with a jack of all trades resume that runs a mile long, and a list of misguided choices and missteps to match it. A year ago I sought out to pursue two passions of mine. One I discovered young, writing and sharing my nonsense thoughts with the world. I am now a contributor to a magazine which holds and promotes my same values on community and exploration of Salt Lake and its.... UnderGround... And I plan continue growing as a writer and participate in my community. The other came much later,through an odd and now untranslatable time in my life. The art of decay, which ultimately guided me to taxidermy. Which has become a life changing experience for me. I understand not many people want to see how stellar I can throw a stitch, or hear about how much I love the smell of bondo in the morning, or how I sincerely believe my scalpel handle is my magic wand and is the perfect weight and length. But, at the end of the day, I dont know how I ever survived focusing on anything else. Now, Im holding my breathe as a tremendous opportunity is opening itself to me. A very stipulated, contracted, overwhelming and terrifyingly wonderful opportunity. So, since my beliefs dont provide me with a deity to ask for guidance from. Im turning to all of you. Im asking for support. Time where it can be spared, patience when it is required, Favors returned, coffee at three in the morning, a fresh set of eyes when I accidentally splash paint thinner in my own. Im not asking for a fish, but 365 lessons on fishing. Im asking for one year of believing in me. Im asking for people to keep me grounded, to be my cheerleaders, to tell me I need to sleep. A network of people to give me high fives, even if that armadillo bowl was a questionable decision. But only if theyll still tell me exactly how questionable it was. More than anything, and I understand this is likely the most impossible request. I need a year where I can trample every No, and not be left second guessing my overconfidence. So theres that world. Its the only way I know who to end a prayer so.. Inthenameofjesuschristamen And also, give all the cats and dogs homes and feed everyone thats hungry, and end all suffering.
