I recall the launch of a book, “My Daughter’s Mum” by Natasha Badhwar. She addresses inter-religious marriages in her book. A sentence she spoke stayed with me: “There was so much silence around the topic at home that I needed to break it with a book.”
Silence helps us buy peace by sitting on the fence, but there is a cauldron of words bubbling inside you seeking release.
Where do those words go?
Silence on the lips
beneath, words boil and gather,
writing breaks the hush.

I do not believe it is healthy with too much silence…. with a pressure cooker inside it may explode.
