It has been a while since I last posted anything here, and it
is not vital that one should always have something to say or write. It is important, though, that one's voice not
go silent because one believes there is nothing to say. We all have something to say. We all have feelings to share even when we
want to keep those feelings close. We
all have thoughts and opinions. Some of
us have learned there is a timing in sharing thoughts, opinions, and
feelings.
What stirs in your heart?
What gives you cause to proclaim your station in life? Society is filled with people wanting to be
heard. Just read the newsfeed on your
Facebook page or give a few minutes to read the 140 word blurbs that your
friends are "tweeting".
Introverts and extroverts alike want to be heard from on occasion, but
the question that hits at the heart of matter is this: are we saying anything of substance? Do we make noise simply to be heard? Are we like prisoners trapped in the dark
cells of our souls clanging a tin cup along the prison bars? Trapped.
Forgotten. Can anyone hear
us? Will anyone help us!
I guess what I am seeking to say is that it is painful to
speak and not be heard or worse, ignored.
It is painful to feel deeply, desire longingly, think openly and come to
the conclusion that it does not matter what one thinks or feels. Each of us by virtue of our collective share
in humanity have value and worth and something to say about life and
living. Perhaps, what we say will
not make any sense to the casual hearer but is it not better to seek to speak
and risk being misunderstood than to give up and believe there is nothing worth communicating?
You have something to say.
Speak. Write. Share.
Be heard.
