It resonates for me with Elie’s Weisel’s words to “always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

I am a fan of Mary Oliver but had not seen that poem before. I am so glad that you chose to share it and write a bit about what it meant to you.

I struggle almost daily against the urge to shelter in a place of moderation. It is an important reminder to excavate those experiences that give my artistic voice authenticity. I think that I will be hanging this poem in my workspace as a daily reminder. Thnx so much.
