Don't Wait! Open Mouth, Take out foot, Speak Again! ! !
Life is full of misunderstandings.... don't sit in them.
Don't wait. Don't wait till its too late to tell someone you love that you care! Don't wait to get out from behind the concrete barrier of your ego and your mind to say I am sorry, any moment might be too late. We all know who we are, the ones with a big foot sticking out of our mouths, or an ankle and a foot, probably with a big shoe on or cleats. I chewed off someone's head the other day, is it hanging in my mouth, like a hyena at a feast? Something in me still sees it.
It doesn't cost, language. I mean it is free to us, a gift we get when we come to town, a life. But it costs so much sometimes to say something simple, to say the kind thing or to not say anything. That is hard. Silence is so frightening to most people, like it might be a black hole we might sink into. Saying sorry is for some a "sorry ass thing to say", they wouldn't get caught dead with those words on their tongue.
Or, is it that some of us have run out of sorry, like in a scrabble game, no more S or R or O vowels left to build the word... its not for points we are playing this word game it is our lives. Our love. Nothing blocks creativity like a dark cloud hanging in the mouth or heart or mind. Poof, Puff, Puff it off .... open your mouth and blow it away, then make your tongue build the letters, taste them, say them, Sorry, or Hello, I miss you. Whatever it is that needs to be said. Before it's too late and we are talking to the absence of what is really present in our hearts!

In Mansuetude, this is where my heart resides. This is my Tumbleword. Don't Wait.
