What are we supposed to say?

Posted on February 3, 2025February 3, 2025 by wordhabit

Don’t speak
Don’t speak out
Don’t speak out loudly
Don’t speak out loudly today

Today is for contemplation
Today is for prayer
Today is actually for silence

We don’t want to make people mad
We don’t want to make people sad 
We don’t want people to think that God has a clear opinion on their politics; in this area of life God is apparently mute


This is what the quiet tells me
It also says that when we’re finally ready to speak, no one will listen
