It's Your Song, My Friend...

Your song still needs a chorus

I know you'll figure it out

The rising of the verses

A change of key will let you out--

~David Byrne and Brian Eno

Strange Overtones

***

You hold they key, you've been holding it in all along. When we mumble and are afraid to shout our needs and desires to the world, our song sounds flat.

.

Remember, my friend, to open your mouth wide and use your voice to sing your truth. Sometimes it helps to raise your arms over your head and reach for what you want, too.

That's a good way for finding one's own true voice.

.

Remember, too, that it is not selfish to tell the world who you are and what you want.

It's liberating.

Besides, watching you get what you need will give permission to others to do the same.

P.S. "I'll harmonize" if it helps you reach for the stars. Someone once did that for me over 20 years ago and, trust me, that grove never went "out of fashion."
