Step outside the here & now, and say something.

Look around you, let the feeling in, take the streets pulse and build an EKG to show it. Listen and transcribe the wordless cry as though you were the days own poet.
Be fearless in the face of reflected truth, don’t just speak, but shout that truth to power. Whilst we listen to objections, we object to listless qualms. The baseless should hold no sway over the creative.
Celebrate achievement even as we accept our own impermanence. For we are small and in that there is beauty, for together so much has been done by ones so small as us. And in that individual smallness is the paradoxical weight of everything. Dont lose sight of that individual, they are anyone as much as they are you, they need compassion, they falter, feel, fail, just like you do.
Create for them as much as you create for yourself. Explore, do things just because… because you can’t always understand the reason before you do it, sometimes you just need to make it happen. So make it happen.
Make it because it happened, because you didn’t want it to, but in making it you force acceptance through your hands and in to your reality. In that acceptance find peace knowing that an uncomfortable truth is better than a denied one.
Deny falsehood the strength of shadows, counter that ignorance with exploration. Shift mediums like ammunition till you find the silver bullet needed to deliver your message. Massage the wounds you leave behind so your target knows its enemy is compassion. Failing that their hoarded gold just to build a bridge for their retreat, let their desire be their undoing as they race headlong in to the world of truth you’ve built.
And if you can’t build it then share what support you can with those constructors and conductors, offer stage and foundation, platform and placation, because in truth you wish for the beauty and shelter they will form once given the chance.
Accept not all forms are for you and know it would be folly to pull them down, accept that some of us build follies for in that frivolity we learn what we truly need.
Just step outside, listen, then say something worth hearing.
