Julie Tamiko Manning - Thought #2 - An Absence of Words

My name is Julie Tamiko Manning and this is thought number two. I've been thinking about silence. Recently a friend told me that I gracefully repress emotion. And that that's not healthy.  But sometimes silence is good. Sometimes there is so much love and beauty in Silence. Sometimes Silence is just the absence of words (which can be so exhausting and complicated) and not the absence of me.
