It is often the artists of the world that get at the core of issues. Artists, writers, and musicians alike evoke the deep groanings within us.
Listen to them.
They wield their brush, instruments and words like surgical tools, both stirring, and healing, inviting us.
Listen to them.
But, we run away from pain, shattered dreams, destruction rather than face the cause of these first perilous breaks. We fail to recognize these early signs as merciful warnings, and in our pride, we accuse, we rail, we persecute, and we shut out.–And this to our own (and those around us) detriment.
Facing early warnings can bring forth solution, discussion, intervention, but with it, humiliation, suffering, and truth, all we’ve been modeled to avoid.
Listen to them.
Until the time that the one who’s learned can finally, emphatically and boldly say enough, stop and no more.
Listen to them.
