SILENCE
There is something so soothing and peaceful when I go out to my yard and play in the dirt. So many sensations as well as dreams and hopes of what I am about to plant.

viewsWhen Silence Rules
By Stephanie Hunt, Thursday, September 1, 2011
In mid-summer’s boiling stupor, I anchor here, along a bend on South Carolina’s Cooper River, beneath moody oaks and droopy moss, in the company of hushed monks and whirling dragonflies. I wake at 5:15 to make it to 5:30 prayer, or “Lauds,” telling myself that if I can get up at that ungodly hour to swim during the week, I should be able to do it for the Lord. But it’s not for the Lord that I am here.

By Lisa Perry, Sunday, June 26, 2011
I lost my voice somewhere between wanting to cuss my ex-husband and his girlfriend out and trying to find the courage to say "I love you" again. It disappeared like a frightened child during a thunderstorm.

I haven’t been a very good blogger lately. I haven’t felt funny or witty or in a place where I could share some pearl of wisdom for you to take with you through life. My apologies.

viewsIn Praise of Silence
By NiceBuddhistGrrrl, Monday, March 15, 2010This weekend a friend and I went to an outdoor community hot tub with a strict rule of silence. The big wooden tub was outdoors, in a large fenced yard in a residential neighborhood. Hmmm…hot tub with strangers in some random backyard? Sounds totally sketchy, right?
