But First Listen

 


Before we raise our voice for any

just cause, or on behalf of another,

first we need to listen: whether by

prayer (which is listening to God),

or study (which is listening to others

wiser, more knowledgeable than us),

and preferably straight from them

whose stories we dare to represent.

For only by the discipline of listening

that we validate our truth-telling.
