Who is your audience?

Recently I edited a wonderful book for someone about his life's journey, and he posted it on his website, seeking feedback from family and friends. Family had a mixed response, and for the moment he questioned his project. I was reminded that it takes an act of faith to write a book. We cannot see our real audience, the eye of the universe; we can only trust what we have to offer, as some flowers bloomed today despite the recent flooding.
