It is enough to speak.
BEing heard
Acknowledged
LISTENED TO
All are icing, excess, unnecessary.
Though cherished
Connection with response
Exchange
Is only a pleasure
NOT a necessity.
Recently I have been shifting and reshuffling ideas,
concepts, perspectives, and whole systems of BElief. I have come to understand that like a pair of
glasses or an f-stop on a camera, what I see and how I see it can change and
neither the first nor the latter BE righter
or wronger than the other.
And I am grateful.
I am grateful for hearing and listening to myself. It is a
skill I never wanted to develop. Resisted and postponed, thinking it really
unnecessary. And Now I discover its importance and gifts.
When I am paying attention and listening in, when I care in
this way for and about myself, I feel “better” and even that which knocks me
down isn’t enough to keep me there. This is a gift. It is an ability I never
imagined I’d care anything at all about.
Ho-Hum-fiddle-de-dee, that is how I considered listening to
myself. Speaking softly was foolish and when I did so, frankly, I deserved to
BE overlooked and NOT considered. I needed to make my voice rise above the
others. Draw more attention. Grab. Compel. Capture MORE.
Although… MayBE…
I love you, Currie
