Something to Say

You have something to say.

It may not be profound

Or extremely life-changing,

But you have wisdom to give.

Small, explosive wisdom

That comes from living life

In the honest trenches,

Deeply aware of your failures.

You learn lessons in the pit

About what connects you

To the heart of others and

What pushes you away.

You learn your weak-

Spots and blind-spots.

You see your mistakes

And bravely own them.

You find your hidden power

In unexpected moments.

Emerging as a leader,

Creator, or problem-solver.

You awaken from growth

On the side of experience

With tender wisdom to share ~

Something important to say.
