       Epigraph

      Speak to me.

       Let me have a look inside these eyes while I’m learning.

       Please don’t hide them just because of tears.

       Let me send you off to sleep with a “There, there, now stop your turning and tossing.”

       Let me know where the hurt is and how to heal.

       Spare me? Don’t spare me anything troubling.

       Trouble me, disturb me with all your cares and your worries.

       Speak to me and let our words build a shelter from the storm.

      Trouble Me by Natalie Merchant and Dennis Drew, 10,000 Maniacs
