The Voice in the Garden




The hum of bees is the
voice of the garden.

Elizabeth Lawrence


All things have voice, a particular way to express life and a reflection of self.  Voice can be a sound like the hum of bees or the howl of the wind.  It can be sweet and gentle like a baby, loud and crass like a drunken sot, and welcomed or ignored like an uninvited guest. 

Voice can be described in various ways as it can be an instrument used for many things.  The importance, it would seem, is the ability to use it while choosing words that best express our thought. 

Choose your words carefully whether in anger or in love, allowing your voice to wrap your thoughts in kindness and integrity.  Use your voice to speak your truth while visiting in this garden of life for your words may hang in the memory of others long after you have passed.
