I'm emerging from a long period of indecision amidst competing voices ... Do you ever get captured by a voice? I don't mean the voices in your head (although I admit that I, me, and myself like to talk to each other). I'm thinking more of the attractive lilt of Scandinavians speaking English. Or of an Irishman waxing lyrical. Or a singer so embodying expression that you can close your eyes and see the emotions. (Conversely, some voices you'd wish would simply shut up because they're showing something you'd rather not see!) Your voice gives visibility to your soul ... now there's a scary thought. Authors are encouraged to find their voice through how they build words into towers of imagination (but what do tweets reveal?). Photographs speak of the photographer's fixations (and what do selfies say?), while artist's paintings and musician's notes are the whispers and shouts of tortured creativity seeking an escape. A voice is our creative mix of inflexion, tone, volume, accent, timbre and tempo in whatever form it may take. Your voice has power to effect change. What does God's voice sound like? I'm not referring to the whisper that Elijah heard, but the voice that reveals God. For if words are the voice of the author, paint the voice of the artist, and melody the voice of the musician, then what is God's voice? to be continued ... Some different types of "voices" that made me stop and listen.
See them play it here ... look at the voice in their faces: https://youtu.be/bAtPeX6Xuxo

Why?
Probably the best therapy is to express yourself. Why do you think psychiatrists make you lie on the couch and talk, while all they do is murmur "hmmm", "uhuh", or "go on"? Archives
