Silence: like Absence…is a presence in itself
Silence can be fear, oppression, a threat, dark power, loneliness, coldness
- anger, brain noise coupled with distraction
- collusion with abuse
- the only way to feel safe
and…
Silence can be solitude, solace, color, freedom, power,
- a statement when words from the outside are hateful, diminishing, destructive
- care and resonance when words cannot and do not work or matter in grief
- protection in the act, not the word
- resistance even in bondage
- resilience
Listen.
Hear.
Be…
in your truth
Courage
