The Hamlet Project

For years, I heeded this advice
Kept my thoughts to myself,
Writing them
Rather than speaking them, Only sharing them
When explicitly requested.
I’m still pretty good at keeping my own counsel
But I will let my tongue share them on occasion –
Because silence will not often get you what you want.
It is safest
I agree.
But safety –
Safety
Might not lead to a life of surprises and delights. Thoughts on a tongue
Can lead to many secret and sweet corners.
