". . .where voice is more a place of departure than of arrival."

The voice is the manifestation of a person's true being; in all its wonder and debauchery. It is not by reciprocity that one's existence is determined, but the simple act of honest articulation or intentional sublimation that the self is defined.

When one puts himself on the line for all to scrutinise, the voice departs from the symbolic mouth, and it is more this than the arrival of interpretation through judgement which gestates meaning into the essence of who he is.

However, the voice sometimes is empty and deceptive, because it is superficial, and that hollowness is a departure from the real intentions, dreams, aspirations and desires the self embodies; marred by the farce of frivolous expression, rather than an arrival of being through the truth of abstinence - where words do not sully the sanctity of the self, and silence preserves it.
