And of course I am afraid, because the transformation of silence into language and action is an act of self-revelation, and that always seems fraught with danger. But my daughter, when I told her of our topic and my difficulty with it, said,’Tell them about how you’re never really a whole person if you remain silent, because there’s always that one little piece inside you that wants be spoken out, and if you keep ignoring it, it gets madder madder and hotter and hotter, and if you don’t speak it out one day it will just up and punch you in the mouth from the inside.’
