A Mantra for Tuesday
I need to make the world aware of what I want. Recently I was given this advice. The wording was different, but it is the message that I received. I can no longer sit upon my hands with indifference. The gesture not of apathy, but out of straining to hear other voices. And to that end, my own voice falls silent. I am at a point where I will be carried less and less, until no more. Where I go, I take myself. Sitting in silence, my disposition emits neutrality. And that finds relation in nothing.
This is not an exercise in futility, but a self inflicted challenge to participate. For the goings on of day in and out, I am better served to stand up. To lift my head, it will be seen. To raise my voice, it shall be heard. To meet your eyes, we are engaged.
If they will not strain to hear my whisper,
then I must shout to cover their ears.
Here here!
…or is it “Hear hear!”
