[Your Voice - II]
You must go.
You can’t stay put and continue to do what you do, hoping it will arrive.
You can’t turn in circles and catch it by accident right where you are.
You must go.
And yet, it’s not at the destination.
Your goal, target, terminus will not have it.
Between here and there, with a lot of practice, it will show up. Staying is not using your voice at all and hoping you discover it. Won’t happen. And thinking you will discover it when you arrive is not how it works. Instead, your voice—the words you wrap around your unique perspective for the sake of the world—simply shows up. Unexpectedly. With work.
If you stay put, you contribute to the noise.
If you wait for a destination, you’ll remain silent.
But as you go, if you continually wrestle to put language to experience, images to thoughts, and words to feelings, your voice will show up.
