In Praise of Silence

Posted on February 13, 2009 by Susan

“...we often misunderstand what quiet means. It doesn’t mean the absence of sound. Some sounds foster silence, like the Gregorian chant that I sang and directed when I lived in a religious order. Some sounds in nature add to the quiet rather than take away from it….My dog doesn’t talk, so we are dedicated to silence on our walk. I consider it a monastic type of meditation and I’m serious about that…”—Thomas Moore, from Nov/Dec 2008 “Spirituality and Health” magazine.

    How lovely… and sometimes true. Always glad to hear from you and read you. Glad to see that we have more things in common… including Sam Sheppard.
