Hush, Be Quiet

Hush, be quiet you old familiar voice of negativity. The one that is full of doubt, fault finding and self sabatoge. There is no mercy, no kindness or love in you, only dislike and distrust. Complete silence of the mind is much better than your noise. But sometimes the future unknown, is more fearful than the known misery. However just when the loud voice of poison vents to almost drown out any future hope, it happens. A flicker of light, from small twigs of long ago embers restores memories of a different voice. A voice not beat up by accounts of life's failures, loses, disappointments and deaths. It holds out tender love, forgiveness and a balanced reality in learning to express a new voice. This voice will nurtue the one carrying it and those it meets on the journey of life .
