npub1a84tmgpk7wgwypwgud3jcl89jsletefts6cd0mpnacceyy50u72s4kwlgu (npub1a84…wlgu) I was watching a show of no real import, when an accomplished female chef, a leader in her profession, was having a conversation with a younger chef of no notoriety. The younger woman was speaking with this soft, whispy, trying-to-speak-but-not-be-in-anyone's-way voice. The older chef said to her, "You will speak from your chest."
This tiny, young, probably terrified younger chef veritably boomed back, "Yes, Ma'am."
I gasped. I watched one woman give another woman a voice in about four seconds.
When we do the whispy voice thing, what part of ourselves are we betraying? Who are we trying to make comfortable by our nothingness? And, are they worthy of us providing that comfort?
"You will speak from your chest."
"Yes, ma'am."
