Writing

Run and Hide (Tuesday) I plan to talk about how I was an effective hider as a child.
I hid in books, getting so involved in the story that I forgot what was real and lived happily in the current book. I did (and do) have my favorites, of course! Boxcar Children was my first love—just the first book though, as after that the children had a happy home and my connection was diminished. Chestry Oak (by Kate Seredy) is the longest lasting book to hide in.
I hid by being competent and brilliant and very busy. I was in honors choir in high school, held office in my Mariner Girl Scout troop (we called it a "ship," of course: the MSS Pinafore), read everything I could get my hands on.
And I hid, sometimes, by turning off my awareness and memory of what was going on around me.
God prefers that we hide in Him. That's what I'm learning to do now.
