“We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.”
Last Wednesday I realised two things. The first was I’d been sitting, absorbed in my work, in absolute silence for the last three hours with only a faint clucking from the chickens and the odd bit of traffic noise for company. And it was glorious.
Have you noticed how hard it is to find places without being assaulted by some soundscape or other? It’s like we’re so afraid of being quiet we’ll do anything to avoid it. More on this soon.
The second was that I’d not posted here for a few months. This is linked to my challenge for this year – to have “No Goals for 2014” and wanting to make sure the experiment worked before posting about it. And more on this soon.
