The Dragon in the Quiet: No Fantasy - A still Remaining

By Stefanie Schöneich

The Dragon in the Quiet, Volume 2 of the series *Silent Paths*

How do you move on when what is missing does not disappear?

This book is a quiet journey through grief - not as an exceptional state, but as a constant undertone in life. L'eyo, a tentative, hesitant character, roams through memories, bodily perceptions and inner spaces in order to live with what has not been said, not healed, not remained.

In doing so, she encounters not only her former self, but also deep inner archetypes: the unlived child, the lost twin, the chess player who preferred to plan rather than feel, the mother with the calendar, the souls that were never born, an empty picture frame - and the dragon that does not fight, but simply waits.

These figures do not represent guilt - but rather everything that has no fixed place in grief, yet is still there. Unmistakable. And silent.

*The Dragon in the Quiet* is not a guidebook. It is not a novel. Rather, it is an interstice of scenes, symbols, breath and text - for people who do not push their grief away, but want to honour and transform it.

A supplementary set of cards with gestures, signs and small rituals invites you to weave what you have read into your own everyday life - not as a method, but as a way of accompanying you.

For all those who don't need to be asked if it still hurts.
And for those who stay - even without explanation.
