The Anti-Law of Silence — Full, and unheard.
Right of the triangle · Conversant
The blue crust that grows on old copper — the stone of being at home in the subject, not just loud in it.
I am at home in this subject; I can carry both sides of the conversation.
How to move over
- 1Name it without shame: today you were standing on ignorant.
- 2Say the law once — The Law of Passage — and bow to it. That bow is obeisance.
- 3Do one small thing only conversant would do, inside the next hour.
- 4Put on the robe: carry Shattuckite for the rest of the day as the sign you switched sides.
The switch of the whole day
- — Open the channel — send the message today.
- — Speak in their language, not your shorthand.
- — Stay in the conversation past the awkward part.
