consider how fish swim & birds fly.
they do so because it is in their nature.
for it is the swimming & the flying
that makes them fish & birds.
likewise, it is the speaking of one's heart
that makes a human being human.
for even if no one hears us,
it is the act of speaking that frees us
by letting the spirit swim & fly
through the world.
