“I’m grateful that, after an early life of being silenced, sometimes violently, I grew up to have a voice, circumstances that will always bind me to the rights of the voiceless.” Rebecca Solnit
She felt voiceless,
shut down,
cut down,
weighed down,
yet she had an inner strength,
something deep,
and she drew it forth,
and set off,
in her own true way.

once, i saw a girl, unstiching the stars so they'd tumble from the sky and fall on her feet.
It's just banter
Musings from an introvert about art, compassionate cooking, words, and the powers of light and darkness within us...
Surrounding yourself with the things that make you happy is the way I choose to live!!!

I am super silent. I sometimes feel like my voice doesn’t matter, but I am learning to speak up!
