A foster child raised on fire and brimstone, every thing was a sin. Did not go to church for 30 years after my only son was killed in a hit-n-run walking home from a church picnic. Kicked out of a Black church, fired at 66 for taking a screenplay to a studio on my day off - I never seemed to fit in. Until hit by a city bus running a red light breaking my neck! A goofy letter for clarification initiated weekly letters for six years from a Legend in the Metaphysical community! How he taught me to love myself without preaching, judging, or criticizing.
