Out there is loud.
In here is quiet, peaceful.
Out there… ego.
Here, humble.
Out there is achievement.
In here, purpose.
Out there… anger.
Here, kindness.
Out there are assumptions and quick reactions.
In here, patience and pause.
Out there, truth is a compromised weapon.
Here, integrity centered in love.
Out there… selfishness.
In here, justice and righteousness.
There is beauty within these walls.
Let us share the awe beyond.
Beautiful; grateful to read this here ❤️
Words of gentle wisdom, Deidre. Thank you.
I like the musicality and cadence of the lines–how the pace slows down to a pause after each stanza, how we pause to reflect on one word at the end of certain lines, the contrast between words at the end of lines, how the silence is woven into the lines.
