Just one more for tonight, I feel another one on my brain’s edge, toes curling the edge of the diving board, hyperventilating before the dive in.

Audre Lorde talks about the Transformation of Silence into Language and Action. Says those things which are not said will eat us alive. Our silence will not protect us. That it is in saying that we shape our action, rather than sit by passively in the face of our impending demise. Death is the final silence. So it is better to speak…

-Audre Lorde
