A WRITER'S PRAYER

"Bring me peace, bring me power, bring me assurance. Let me reach the bright day, the high chair, the plain desk where my hand at last controls the words, where anxiety no longer undermines me.
If I don't reach these I'm thrown to the wolves, I'm a restless animal wandering from place to place, from experience to experience.

Give me the humility and judgment to live alone with the deep and rich satisfactions of my own creating; not to be thrown into doubt by a word of spite or disapproval.

In the last analysis don't mind if your work is good or bad so long as it has the completeness, the enormity of the whole world which you love."
