Against the Tide

Have you ever felt there was something you had to speak out about?
Have you ever felt it and known that - whatever you say - it may not make a difference? Ever felt the blood in your ears as you think about saying it, knowing it will not be something people want to hear? Have you ever felt your mouth go dry, and stared at your palms as your fingers shake? Have you ever known, that by saying it, you will hurt someone you respect? And that they may never understand why you said it?


Have you ever said it anyway?


Here's to that today. However small the action.
