IT IS WINTER. Ravens are standing on a pile of bones—black typeface on white paper picking an idea clean. It’s what I do each time I sit down to write. What else are we to do with our obsessions? Do they feed us? Or are we simply scavenging our memories for one gleaming image to tell the truth of what is hunting us? “To write,” Marguerite Duras remarked, “is also not to speak. It is to keep silent. It is to howl noiselessly.” Today there is a fresh field of snow—no visitations by ravens, just a pristine landscape wiped clean by a blizzard. What I wouldn’t give to follow my mother’s tracks before she covered them up with her silence. My mother was a great reader. She left me her journals, and all her journals were blank. I believe she wanted them read. How do I read them now? I am afraid of silence. Silence creates a pathway to peace through pain, the pain of a distracted and frantic mind before it becomes still.

Fear seeks noisy company and pandemonium to scare away the demons. 
—C. G. Jung
*
I fear silence because it leads me to myself, a self I may not wish to confront. It asks that I listen. And in listening, I am taken to an unknown place. Silence leaves me alone in a place of feeling. It is not necessarily a place of comfort. The Roman goddess of silence, Angerona, held her finger to her lips as she stood in the posture of both pain and peace. My mother knew herself, and she kept her silence as a possession. It was hers alone. She didn’t have to write about it. I do.
