St. Fu
Aka Silence is Golden

This piece is tongue in cheek and was inspired by a friend and mentor. A seasoned Spiritual Companion and awesome human. She noticed the less she said, the better. She jokingly said she prayed to the patron saint of spiritual directors - Saint Fu. (ST. FU. Shut. The. Fu*k. Up).
Here she is.
In all of her fierceness.
Threatening to cut out your tongue.
Silence is golden.
Your mouth
Impenetrable wall
Speak and I shall cut out your tongue.

A letter to St. Fu - Patron Saint of Spiritual Directors
Please watch over me.
May your authoritarian gaze watch over me.
Your invisible hands unlock only what is necessary.
