Moving Voice Scolding

More From Carol Shields

Scolding must be very, very fun, otherwise children would be allowed to do it. it is not because children don’t have what it takes to scold. you need only three things, really. you need time, to think up scolding things to say. you need effort, to put these scolding things in a good order, so that the scolding can be more and more insulting to the person being scolded. and you need chutzpah, which is a word for the sort of show-offy courage it takes to stand in front of someone and give them a good scolding, particularly if they are exhausted and sore and not in the mood to hear it.
Children Fun Thinking
Nature! we live in her midst and know her not. she is incessantly speaking to us, but betrays not her secret. we constantly act upon her, and yet have no power over her. variant: nature! we are surrounded and embraced by her: powerless to separate ourselves from her, and powerless to penetrate beyond her.
Nature Secret Midst
But what i would like to say is that the spiritual life is a life in which you gradually learn to listen to a voice that says something else, that says, "you are the beloved and on you my favour rests."... i want you to hear that voice. it is not a very loud voice because it is an intimate voice. it comes from a very deep place. it is soft and gentle. i want you to gradually hear that voice. we both have to hear that voice and to claim for ourselves that that voice speaks the truth, our truth. it tells us who we are.
Christian Spiritual Voice
Nature! we are surrounded by her and locked in her clasp: powerless to leave her, and powerless to come closer to her. unasked and unwarned she takes us up into the whirl of her dance, and hurries on with us till we are weary and fall from her arms.
Nature Fall Arms
There are no words and there is no singing, but the music has a voice. it is an old voice and a deep voice, like the stump of a sweet cigar or a shoe with a hole. it is a voice that has lived and lives, with sorrow and shame, ecstasy and bliss, joy and pain, redemption and damnation. it is a voice with love and without love. i like the voice, and though i can't talk to it, i like the way it talks to me. it says it is all the same, young man. take it and let it be.
Sweet Pain Men
I wasn't so stupid that i didn't realize the implications of what they were saying. in my live work i was going for the quick thrill, rather than spending time concentrating on my voice. i figured i'd get on, make as many quick movement as possible, dance my ass off for five minutes, move into the insult portion of the evening, and then, at the end, create some kind of chaos until the 55 minutes were up.

Similar Quotes
He wanted to be loved for being just what he was. in this community of yskalnari there was harmony, but no love. he no longer wanted to be the greatest, strongest or cleverest. he had left all that far behind. he longed to be loved just as he was, good or bad, handsome or ugly, clever or stupid, with all his faults - or possibly because of them. but what was he actually? he no longer knew. so much have been given to him in fantastica, and now, among all these gifts and powers, he could no longer find himself.
Clever Stupid Community

Before, i was so stupid. but, you know, when you have friends who died on the street, you say, okay, let's calm down. it's not the kind of energy i want to have in life. i want to go slower, and longer.
