Silence and Speech

Something is lost
either total concealment or endless explanation
Something may be gained
right timing

Socratic question

Is silence shelter, evasion, or listening?

Small practice

Say one necessary sentence, then stop.

Illustration direction

A sparse field of obsidian, indigo haze, emerald points, one interrupted line, and a gold threshold. The lost form recedes; the possible gain remains incomplete.
