What Happens in Silence

About the Book

This book is the product of my grieving and wanting. How scary it was for me when my life changed—what it took to accept a major change. I wrote about the two things I have never understood: women and God. While I don’t believe in gods, I do think it’s a beautiful idea. And I find women just as beautiful, and they are just as impossible to understand.

About the Author

These writings came to me over a very dark and painful time in my life. Due to several injuries, work became very painful; this lasted about fifteen years. Those were very hard times, where nothing would work out. While going through some old journals, I found some notes on some meditations. The first of these writings was “Seraphim”—a combination of my notes and an event that happened to me after a woman hugged me for no apparent reason. While my writing has a lot of religious ideology, I am an atheist and my writings go back to my Catholic upbringing. Just because I consider myself an atheist does not mean I do not find my early teachings both rich and beautiful.
