Cai,
I've never read your work before. I'm glad this was a staff pic. There are literally millions of people around the world that have never found their voice. Obviously, your circumstance is different.
Since reading this a few hours ago, I can hardly think of anything else. As a former public speaker, literally hundreds of people have stood in line looking for a secret formula to say . . .
In today's world, it's not enough to just speak, you must let others know how important it is to listen, to you.
Thank you for writing this. Like you, I also pray for a cure for so many people in need of communicating.
