This Shared Experience Called Life on Earth, and
This Shared Experience Called Love

My name is Margaritta Maria Fultz--Maggie to some and Rita to many folks who are family and close friends, and I sometimes unleash Rita when folks get on the wrong page with me. I am a citizen of Mother Earth; therefore, I am an earthling. If you have the privilege of sight and you are not colorblind, you perceive me on sight as a black woman about as fast as the speed of light travels. I’m dark, and I like that.
You may be a white, olive, brown, yellow, red or another skin color we perceive on sight among earth dwellers. And whatever skin color that you may be or may not be, whatever our economic circumstances, sexual orientation, gender, height, width, or breadth of background or experience, if you are blessed to be literate enough to read these words, I encourage you to see me and ALL of the other inhabitants of earth who have skin colors and shades more varied than the rainbow as
...beautiful
...lovely
...interesting
...rich
...valued
...and
...included in this shared experience we call LIFE
on this wonderful planet we call EARTH
and in doing so, do it RIGHT,
and LOVE one another.
God. Thank You for loving us. Thank you for the opportunity for abundant life, the experience of living, this existence of the earth, other earthlings to share life with, and love as that thing that should connect ALL earthlings to one another in a shared experience uninterrupted by chaos, war, conflict, and malice.
Thank You for Jesus, and the biggest sacrifice and greatest demonstration of love earthlings have ever come to know...that a Man has laid down His life for undeserving, sinful, ungrateful, untrustworthy and sometimes hateful and racist earthlings. Thank you, God. You didn’t have to do it, but You did that! Love you much. Amen.
