Prayers of Honoring Voice Quotes

“Remind me, when I hesitate to follow my excitement, that magic reveals itself in unstructured movement and communication. To hold back is to forbid the dawning to occur. Tolerate my meanderings. Grant me my verbosities and explorations. Help me permit myself to know the joy in chasing amazement without over-cautiousness.”

“I think the greatest of all distractions between heart and throat might be faithlessness, because reigning religious institutions have effectively redirected the focus from faith to matters of righteousness, wrongness and “policies.” Faith in love, and what it can do, has taken a particularly destructive backseat to the priorities of massive organizations with other things in mind than loving kindness, peaceful communication, fair resolutions, wellness, and the expressive voices of living, breathing people.”

“There is a mistaken notion that voice empowerment means one should speak every thought and complaint that blips across the mind, publicly and intimately. This book is not one of personal empowerment, rather it supports relational empowerment: the healing that comes from saying what heals and helps, thoughtfully and directed toward the source most likely to be able to witness the contents of the heart. Relational empowerment in this application focuses on building. Personal empowerment may or may not build; it can be destructive, mean, retaliating, mired in a loop of right and wrong, withholding, punishing, victimizing, and even abusive. Prayer has the potential to open up channels with the “Divine Source of Life as You Understand It” to begin a dialogue, which will hopefully lead to many fulfilling dialogues in your relationships.”

“There seems to be tremendous fear of telling our stories and being willing to vulnerably take ownership of them. There are many things that are now ready to be said. It is time to heal what has been asking for medicine. Rehabilitation of the voice can begin by taking a thorough inventory of what is resting on the heart. Determining whether the matter found there is heavy, light, or neutral provides a moment of pause for considering what is liable to happen when an attempt is made to interpret it for the understanding of others. Fear usually speaks right up, and loudly. Silent resentment takes the place of naming expectations. Defensiveness abounds. Caustic inner dialogue makes turmoil of the gut. The body eventually tells the story of what has been relegated to the basement of the psyche with an assortment of symptoms and ailments.”
