It’s clear to me now why God answered me with silence that night. Silence is the hallmark of the vulnerable. They are vulnerable for many reasons, but this may be the main one: When they call, no one answers. And it’s not because they can’t talk, not because they don’t have something important to say. It’s because we have slanted the system to drown them out. The tapestry of justice is torn in just the right way to obscure their voices.
