Speech is silver. Silence is…

…not golden. Just a fake gold that soon dulls.  Like the necklace I bought in Cyprus. They told me it was gold. I knew they were lying, but I bought it anyway. I felt I had to buy something because they gave me tea….

I’ve been keeping silent for most of my life. It’s time to talk.

So tune in again, keep in touch and don’t suffer in silence.

Glad that you’re doing this too, hope it proves to be a place where you can comfortably express yourself and that you’ll be able, in the wise words of your mentor in a different context, to write your heart out here.

Look forward to reading future posts 🙂
