Our Lives, Our Voices

Voices, Choices, and  Inner Light

Life is made of moments where our voices, choices, and inner light guide the paths we walk. Too often we lose ourselves in noise, forgetting the strength and beauty of our own truth. Our Lives, Our Voices is a reminder to pause, listen, and reconnect with the authentic spirit within.

We carve out caverns of time for television programs and become too busy for the things that fill us with light, or to discover what fills us with Light. We look to other people for the good in ourselves and forget that the good in us in inside of us, or that we ought to put it there. We interact with people by adding them to our list of friends and make little time for the people in our lives who challenge us to new journeys, or to meet these people.

We dance around the injustices around us and excuse ourselves by saying that it takes much more than us to change anything, or that we’ll get around to it eventually. We crave connection and refuse to even raise our eyes at those who pass us, or respond with more than a few words when our friends and family ask us about our lives.

Our lives. As tiny and insignificant as we are, we’ve all the power to raise our voices and rile up those around us about the wrongs that we want righted. We’ve all the power that make up our minds we have, so why not get around to realizing that we’re just as insignificant and just as powerful as the individuals who’ve set up the unjust systems and that we’ve got voices just loud enough and time that’s just enough to get up and make things right.

Our lives and our voices are the truest reflections of our spirit. By embracing them fully, we step into a space of joy, healing, and authenticity. May you always find the courage to speak your truth and walk in your light.
