And when we speak we are afraid
our words will not be heard
nor welcomed
but when we are silent
we are still afraid
So it is better to speak
remembering
we were never meant to survive.

Having a disability and therefore not being able to be a part of the “machine” has certain advantages. One advantage is being able to see things many people miss or take for granted. Being on the autistic spectrum allows me to feel very intensely and pick up on energies. I can feel our collective energy and the soul of the earth. As I write this, it is a struggle for me because I think almost entirely in feelings and pictures. One thing I want to share with you (whoever is listening) is that we more than cogs in a machine. The “machine” would like you to believe your time is money. I say that time is not money, it’s art. It’s creation. We’re here to create. To Love. So there you have it. This little blurb has been my contribution to creation for the day. One truth in a sea of truths. Maybe somewhere someone will find this little rant useful.
