Silence... is Golden?

In Memoirs of a Geisha, Sayuri, as a young girl, said, ''loss cannot be expressed in written words, only felt''.

I have been asked about my ''silence'' lately. I have wondered why I have not written for so long, since I used to write so much.

I have not stopped thinking, feeling or forming opinions. But the deepest feelings and hurt can never be expressed. Silence is grief. Silence is loss. Silence is even louder than words, tears and music. It is sheer emptiness and unbearable void.
