Shine it all Around

What would the world be like if we started sharing. What would happen if we began giving away ourself in ordinary places? If truth and absolute openness were our allies instead of our constant struggle. We would open our mouths and words would form on our tounges.. but they would be words that change lives, words that change minds, they would be the words that we really, truely, are dying to say.
There is a fear that lives inside of us. It lives 10 seconds in the future, and it likes to tell us that what we think and what we need to say, can wait. We meet these points in life where moments are forver shifted - our future changes because of whether or not we choose to speak and what we choose to speak about - often we surrender the moment to silence. what good came of silence? What good of safety and being quietly a bystander to the world's arguements?
I listen to coversations with great anticipation. Most of the time I am disapointed. We speak safely. An entire days worth of words are wasted on mindless sound! When did we lose the courage to say what we feel? When did it become unpopular to stir things up? To stir people up.
But there are those moments where courage shines through! Where someone, despite their fear, says something brave - and the words almost pierce your mind! I love those moments. beautiful sound. The pure passion of a voice, the resounding throb of excitment that lingers in your ears! We don't talk that way enough. How are you going to talk about buying groceries with passion? How do you whine about your pains and aches with passion? How do you gossip with passion? WE DON'T!! Passion comes from our heart, and words from the heart are spoken in sencerity, and sencerity is tied to thoughts that have genuine substance, that actually hurt and cut and heal! A radical life, a life outside, dangerous and free - a life like that breathes radical words.

I'm ready for real words. We're ready for real communication, real truth between humans. Speak to me.. and I will listen
