I Can't Live Without It

Listen to "I Can't Live Without It" on Spreaker. October 13, 2021 When written thought becomes spoken word. Will it be enough to inspire action? No matter how strong your heart is, at the drop of a hat human emotion easily turns into a follower. When projected a single thought plants a seed. Ultimately it’s our choice to believe. We play the white picket fence game. Pitting the right side against the left. Both sides could be right. How is that possible? Leaders say things over and over so that those following begin to believe. It’s like radio and television commercials that convince you to buy a product. You didn’t need it until they said you did. Amazon has made billions banking on telling you what you need. As a daily writer I study thought. That doesn’t mean I have mine under control. It means I’m aware of what has strength and what shouldn’t be set free. Which is an awkward way of moving through traffic in an age when sounding off about any subject gets you hits on social media. It’s as if we’ve given ourselves permission to bark like dogs. But are you biting? This reminds me of my neighbor. About fifteen years ago he sent out an email to everybody around him asking us to quiet our dogs. Please this barking is getting out of hand. Today he has two very large dogs that love to spread their music through the hood. It proves how you can turn your bite around. Becoming aware of what you write before it becomes spoken word.
