WEAPON OF CHOICE? 
SILENCE! 

They didn’t notice it, they didn’t plan it,
but silence, cold crushing silence,
became their weapon of choice.

They didn’t know it, they didn’t plan it,
but silence is the worse of weapons,
because neither is taking communion.

Painting of Aase and Harald Nørregaard 
by Edvard Munch, 1899.
I have no clue as to the state of
their marriage, but I found 
this painting by Munch - as well
as his famous painting, 
"The Scream" right at the heart
 of many  communication 
and relationship scenarios.

Oh , yes, you are so right .

Yet there are times when silence is needed and the one person we can talk to is God .

Come Holy Spirit !
