YOU MAY EXPERIENCE SOME AFTERSHOCKS

When you finally say

what comes from deep in your

heart;

when you lose the ever-present

filter;

when

care,

love,

connection

become as real as

matter;

you may experience some aftershocks.

 

We aren’t used to being

that vulnerable,

that honest,

that raw.

 

You may want to take it all back,

fearing you might be misunderstood

or seen as too intimate.  

 

Don’t.

 

Let the moment live

as a time when formality

overcame the barrier of

false propriety

and expressed true

humanity.
