RE: coat of silence

[Guest guest]

--Don`t hide anywhere, it is when you are fully

visible and radiant that nothing harmless can happen.

I like the word vulnerability, I beleive in

it is a reminder to step back and not take everything

at first degree.

The coat of silence grows and it isn`t empty.

There is no empty silence.
