Guttural Screams

"It took me a long time to develop a voice, and now 

that I have it, I am not going to be silent."

Madeleine Albright

Christmas is passing and emotions just might be compiled within us.  Things we didn't say and wish we did or things we did say and wish we had not.  It is necessary to articulate what lies within us, using creative expression.

The voice can be heard within silence or in guttural screams.  Words that are stockpiled need to be released whether finding escape onto paper or into the ear of a trusted friend.  The importance is in the honoring of our voice.

We have an obligation to speak our truth.  It is necessary to hear our words resonating within us.  There is a significant blessing in holding our words in chosen silence and liberation in freeing them out into the world.
