A Beginning…

 For a myriad of inexplicable reasons, I have come to believe that I should not speak. That any words of mine will be drowned out by the thunderous ocean of voices.
       And so I have waited: adrift, asleep...

I assumed that the world does not need yet another voice, truthful or mistaken. The verity of this shall not be decided or determined by me. I do not presume to be the custodian of any higher meaning or deeper understanding. It is rather likely that I have nothing of substance to add to this world.

Yet, try I shall. My voice may remain unheard, my words may not touch the hearts and minds of others. The cold, uncaring, pragmatic, simplistic, deluded, superficial, narcissistic, blind mob may never read this. Most certainly, they will not.

But I hope that the rest, the others, will hear this one day. I hope for You, the exceptional, the incredible, the people who observe the ugliness and sadness of this world daily and still choose to see. I hope that one day You will see these humble words and wonder, however briefly, if I could truly see; if my vision could add something good and pure, and true to our lives.

May the world now drown out my voice and damn me to obscurity...
