In my role as Creative Director I can often find myself in where there are lots of very loud, strong voices. Often these voices have been calling for change, which is really important, but a lot of the messaging often feels very negative, stuck in anger, old ways, repeating patterns, blame... Those voices have been loud, but leave me feeling very little hope and a sense of being resigned to existing, unhelpful ways.

 

I often feel scared of bringing my voice into these spaces - fear of not being good enough, not being experienced enough, not being important. But what has been really coming up for me recently is that amongst all the shouting and anger and loud voices, there is a lot of beautiful, quiet work happening, with integrity and heart and presence. People believing in the power of movement and art, exploring practice and quietly doing their work themselves, with others, making change.

They’re most often overlooked, under-recognised but they’re (we’re!) changing the world.

Quiet work

The quiet work

quiet, but strong

creating ripples that nudge

and provoke

moving molecules in minds

Tiny waves tapping

making spaces for new perspectives

quiet workers

healing

questioning... wondering

Writing, drawing, moving

building energy

taking care

and time

quiet explorers

of different ways of being

undercurrents of joy,

imagination, connection, creativity

softly navigating spaces others overlook

Those inside, and inbetween

quiet work rippling into the world

it's warm embrace ready to hold you

Powerful

This quiet work, powerful

a way to change the world

Heart by heart

soul by soul

we pay attention

to the quiet sensations

And this quiet work extends a hand

To support, to encourage

to show the way

slowly, gently

A path emerges, fluid, changing

shared by other quiet travellers

Ripples of their footsteps

resonating

In cells and underfoot

Calling others

Quietly shifting the ground

Quietly changing the world.
