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.
