Kerry Hart - Screaming Quietly (Official Lyric Video)

Screaming Quietly is a mantra in the truest definition, a mystical formula of invocation. The song is a direct communication between my heart and the Love that has woven this world into being, a transcription of my spirit’s conversation with the Creator. To live in this world, eyes open, heart open, one has to reconcile the truth that there is deep suffering, injustice, and utter darkness inflicted on innocent beings, with tremendous regularity. Simultaneously there is absolute generosity, true altruism, bravery, courage, and resolve to alter for the better the circumstances of others in need, against all odds. These things truly do not reconcile comfortably. It often feels as though humanity has been crafted to strike some delicate balance of darkness and light. My sensitive constitution sees and experiences this as true, yet my hopeful warrior spirit longs for love and goodness to triumph, in the end, and admittedly, though it may be the ego’s errand, to align myself with the victory of this beauty. There is no balm for the discomfort of this paradox. There is no salve for disparity of opportunity, education, nutrition, safety and freedom from oppression or from harm enjoyed by some, at times utterly unreachable for others. Fortunes may shift, miracles occur. But I personally cannot reach all beings in the most vulnerable hour of their need, and the truth of my heart, and of my faith and awareness, is that I wish I could. I wish I could intervene in every situation where Love felt dimmed in the hearts of people as they played out their expressions of power in a damaging way on another soul, or on the Earth herself. I wish I could play the part of a cosmic love Superhero, calling in our better angels to elevate our wisdom, awaken us from slumber and build a world for all to inhabit that we can be proud of having created. It was a divine gift when this song prayer came, I needed it and I am healed when I share it. As I walk in joy and sing from utter freedom, I do not forget the brothers and sisters, and our delicate ecosystems who have no such fortuity. I sing this song and carry it all in my heart, always, and pray my good intent bound into the words and the notes can somehow be a light in the darkness.
