Silence or Oppression ...




"No person is your friend who demands your silence 
or denies your right to grow."
Alice Walker

There is a difference between choosing to be still in the presence of wisdom, and allowing someone else to oppress us. If we are being silenced, we have choice to hold our lovely selves accountable by using our voice or to simply walk away.

For what reason would we allow our vision and truths be squelched?  If we do so out of respect, that is understandable; however, if we repress our voice out of fear of judgement, we disrespect the self.

Why would we tolerate a relationship where we are not seen or heard?  What is the reason for settling for a lesser than arrangement?  Please gather courage and articulate personal vision which results in empowerment.  Give permission to set the self free, reflecting authentic skill, insight and worth.
