"Some people came back silent, and some talked incessantly as though talking about a thing would make it vanish. Actually, just the opposite is true: once things and thoughts are expressed and described they acquire a new reality, as though by giving them words we give them part of ourselves. After that, they will not allow us to leave them behind." (Under a Cruel Star, 42)

a prayer
When we avoid slowing down Hedge us in and still our souls When we ignore your voice inviting us to be foolish Release our grip on the need to fit in give us guts to follow you
