Act
(page 4)
Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.
How we think shows through in how we act. Attitudes are mirrors of the mind. They reflect thinking.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
Storytelling is ultimately a creative act of pattern recognition. Through characters, plot and setting, a writer creates places where previously invisible truths become visible. Or the storyteller posits a series of dots that the reader can connect.
Each heartfelt prayer, each Church meeting attended, each worthy friend, each righteous decision, each act of service perfomed all precede that goal of eternal life.
Writing is an act of faith, not a trick of grammar.
