Grounding.

She, fell to her knees. At the altar, she deemed fit to worship frequently. Due, mostly, to her past, miserable existence. She, was born what she was, to a " different station " and, had to accept this with good grace. Obviously. Any other path taken, she felt, would demean herself. As well as her heritage. And, ancestry. The process of " self-promotion " in the eyes of her peers, and fellow " townsfolk, " was comparable with a " getting, out-of-jail free, card " accessing all areas. Why would any body not want, that ? Considering, harsh realities and, economies. Life, is what it is, after all !
The " altar " provided for her. In ways beyond imagination. Why would it not ? She, liked the security and comfort of being in a place, of giving. She, admired the " sanctity " of the positioning where everyone came together. In the name of something, determined love. There was also " respect " to accommodate. Through praying to the over-riding values of " stead-fast " resolve, to " bathe " in THE LIGHT ! Though, not always at the end of a " tunnel " !!
The wealth of being in a gratifying rewarding sanctuary, away from mainstream worry, was clear. How could it not be ? When " push, came, to shove " ! Heartfelt " bargaining " for her soul had been replaced by long-term spirit, applied to great effect. Here, she, understood what comes from " laying, it, all on the line " for the sake of her well-being and, that, of others.
Sometimes, guests would emerge from " far-away " fields, bolstering her learned principles, further. And, her credentials. 
An education was important. She, felt it. " Visions " expressed, how it was vital, to have the best on offer. Finding out, something new, every day.  Her, outlook was now evolved from the " ignorant lass, " which it once was ! She, had abandoned the " playground politics " for something real. For, something which drove the soul into the perspective of mature " progression " ! No wonder, she could afford to smile.
Gone, were the concerns of a mis-spent youth, to be replaced by Faith. There was faith in her own capabilities, and, in that, of her surrounding supporters. Fellow " liberal-minded " committers to the " journey " of salvation, and hope beyond measure. The throng, who believed in, more.....were trusted, like none she had met in her previous incarnation. They, were there for her. To cherish what meant the absolute, most. What, meant everything !
