Yeah, I Will Dare. . .

Circumstances have arisen that I can no longer ignore nor remain silent about. These circumstances have brought into existence a perfect storm which has battered my sensibilities and beliefs and I find myself in a situation where silence is no longer an option.

For months I have been asking myself, "Should I?" The immortal lines of T.S. Eliot's The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock haunt me. "Do I dare / Disturb the universe?"

Yes.  Yes, I will dare . . . 

But it is not simply an assertion of will. It is an obligation.  A must. I have no choice in the matter. In these times, silence is death. And I refuse to be silent. I refuse to die. 

Universe, get ready to be disturbed . . .
