Twenty-Minute stories and poems is a collection of works that were written in 20 minutes or less. They have been edited for grammar and spelling, but other than a word added here or removed there, they are presented as written, fresh on the page. The book reminds anything can happen in the pure presence of the heart, it suggests you always begin where you are.<\/p>\n![\"Melanie](\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/305\/2018\/02\/Melanie-Lutz-Picture-Only-Love-is-Real-212x300.jpg\")
