Happy Book Birthday to MAYBE JUST ASK ME! - the book I wished I had a kid. It’s Disability Book Week and this story is about discussing disability openly and honestly-curiosity with kindness is always allowedπŸ™‚

If you’re a querying writer using Libby, here’s a secret research tip to find agents to query: go to the pages of comps/books you feel yours will sit well next to on a shelf. After the blurb, Libby links to any trade reviews the book might have. Publisher’s Weekly reviews list the agent!

FOR BLESSING AND NOT FOR CURSE
Creator of all things,
your creations fill the Earth. 
With a simple glance I
behold the bounty 
of your makings.
The living creatures of
flesh and breath,
the foliage which feeds,
the elemental powers which
we attribute to your actions.
We cannot simply pray 
for abundance when too much 
becomes a curse.
Reliant on the rain
whose waters sustain
in scarcity 
        delivers death with drought
in abundance
        engulfs and drowns.

Reliant on the fire
whose heat warms 
in scarcity
        bears fatality with frost
in abundance
        engulfs and incinerates.
The same water which
fuels can flood.
The same fire which
fuels can destroy.
We cannot pray them away.
Creator of all things,
we pray for balance
        blessing, not curse
        life, not death
        satiety, not want
knowing one shifting wind
can change our fate.
