Retrospective / Silence

On one of my first websites, around 2005, there were three variants under the biography header. A citable standard version, followed by one that felt more true but likely was not as citable. The third version looked like this:

III (die Wahrheit) [the truth]

.......................................................................................................................................
.......................................................................................................................................
.......................................................................................................................................
.......................................................................................................................................
.......................................................................................................................................
.......................................................................................................................................
.......................................................................................................................................
.................................................

What I do not like about this version of my biography today (2021), is the kind of churlish gesture, which does not exactly see the comical side of this whole topic, and does not take it as a challenge to find a creative way of my own.

What I still like about it, is the articulation of silence as an essential dimension of a biography in this third version. I wonder if this isn't an answer shared by many as an answer to the question "What is your life?": to be silent for a moment and then to say: "I do no know."

(Or, as another interpretation of the dots: a chain of things that remain unsaid.)

If it were true that wordlessness is a crucial dimension of a biography: how can it be given space?

What would be the context of this space of meaning? Hardly in a biography provided as a service. Maybe more in a biography painted as a picture of life (bios-graphein) - a drawing of a reality, that may be related closely to the life of others, and to a contact with art. Maybe art can be seen as an expressionn of this wordlessness.
