This evening I went for a walk with my dog, Toby, in the bit of forest near my parents house in Barrie. I got thinking about how much I enjoy breathing with the trees. I know the feeling of being in the forest, being near water... in clean air changes the way I see things.
Sometimes it is important to change the way I see things. Sometimes it is important to really see things. Once I have seen something, once something has come to my attention, I could never live like I dont know. What I'm referring to is not turning a blind eye or burying my head in the sand - to talk in the way that people like to talk.
Instead, letting the world that I experience, affect the way I live. My walk, my talk.
Unstopping my ears to injustice. But more than that: unstopping my walk to injustice. How could I choose to live like I didnt know? I could. I know many do. Sometimes I did before.
But not today, and not tomorrow.
I spent this past weekend with friends, old and new. The kind of friends that help you realize that you don't need to hide. I realized that I don't need to find my voice. I just need to speak. So, I will speak. I will speak for justice. I will walk justice. I will speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. I will speak loudly, sometimes I might need to shout. I will roar.
