Say It Out Loud

It is comfortable to be quite.
Most times, I watch silence happening around me. Sometimes from me.
The word in the chamber - shot never fired.
Blame it on inhibitions. Blame it on the convenience of remaining anonymously detached... but those words go unsaid, those ambitious beautiful strokes of our mouths.. slip from the pages of our story.
Sometimes I watch us move our lips.. so close to saying what we want, to doing what we want. But, its all the same thing, all connected, the saying and the becoming, the saying, and the experience that comes with a moment's courage - this world was "spoken" into existence after all.
Call it the materialization of intention.. but things do happen when we speak honestly, viciously, unrepentantly. Out, loudly.
That instant, when speaking or moving feels like too much of an effort.. those are the moments that shape our days.
