....CHAPTER ONE

I rent a small room from Hiram the potter for a small monthly pittance. I know it is mostly through the goodness of his heart, but since he would have no-one know he is in possession of such a thing, I always protest his mean-spiritedness each time I pay him his rent. Petty quarreling somehow seems to satisfy the both of us. I have made my living, such as it is, on Hiram's corner of the market square since the death of my husband nearly five years ago. I recall the old tales that have been handed down for generations around the campfires of my ancestors for as long as tales have been told.

Rough waves wash o'er me, dash me in pieces, no one to hear me when I cry.
Here I am on sin's dread sea, is there no way to be set free?
No safe harbor, no place of refuge? Is there no escaping sin's dread sea?

Hope fights with fear as help approaches. Oh, blessed being, don't pass me by.
Hands reach out uplifting me, arms encircling, holding tight.
Storms subsiding, He's calmed the water and I cling to Him with all my might.

On solid ground...
