Rough & edgy takes on sweet & flowery in a title bout for the ages

I’ve talked to quite a few meditation teachers who have noticed a trend of ‘flowery’ language in the meditation space. 
 
As a connoisseur of language, it’s something I tend to notice too. 
 
Especially because some would call my style rough & edgy. I don’t pull punches. I speak from the heart. And shoot from the hip (so to speak). 
 
In fact, as one person put it recently, I sometimes use “charged language”. 
 
I agree. Guilty as charged. 
 
Maybe it’s my background as a English major. Maybe it’s my love of literature and poetry. Maybe it’s because I’ve been rereading Shakespeare (homeboy was charged). 
 
But I love powerful language. After my dog, it just might be my most cherished thing on Earth (ok, fine, friends and family sneak in too). 
 
More:
 
I think many non-meditators are scared away from the practice because of the flowery language. I think some of them think it’s phony. 
 
Because humans experience a range of emotions. Not just the soft and flowery ones. 
 
So sometimes my language embodies a range of emotions too. Rough & edgy. Charged. Soft & flowery. I do it all. 
 
Because I don't edit or censor myself. 
 
Methinks the world doesn’t need your censored self. It needs you. 
 
So if you’re flowery, be flowery. 
 
But don’t just do it to fit in.
