"It took me quite a long time to develop a voice,
and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent."
Madeleine Albright
As I listen to the cardinal sing a song, my spirit is calmed. The melody of the bird is fluent and heartfelt. The same is true for human voices even though they may be using a foreign language, they can fill us with emotion.
To use a voice is not not limited to harsh, belligerent or offensive language. A voice can be whispered or screamed according to the element of emotion wanting to be expressed. Either way, as an individual we choose the words and tone we want to utilize.
A a youngster my voice was suffocated, so it was challenging to project even the smallest phrase. I would immediately withdraw thinking I would be silenced. Time carries us into challenges and without exchange of expression, the lesson will never be integrated. The outcome of being right or wrong matters not. The importance is in speaking inner truth out into the world.
