Secret Thngs

Emotional waves are secret things noticed if laughter or sobbing is too loud or raucous to ignore. Then it’s ‘don’t be so silly’ or ‘there, there, it’ll be all right’. 


But silent waves may not be noticed but for an expression that rumples a 

carefully made up face. Inside waves challenge stiff smiles secured to face the public.


“A secret’s worth depends on the people from who it must be kept.”

~ Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind
