It is Sunday afternoon at abut 4pm. We have been observing silence since last evening at 7:30pm. It has been surprisingly nice. I have not listened to music (even for meditation). I have had 2 phone calls with the fam. Candace and the kids were traveling to Okla. to help my mom pack. Hannah spent Fri/Sat at Winterfest so I had to get the low-down on what all happened. I walked to a near-by pizzaria and had lunch. I spoke briefly to the girl at the counter and watched CNN while I ate. I asked one of the other Shalem associates where the laundry is. Otherwise, I have been observing silence since last evening. We will have a prayer service tonight. I supect we will have some talking during it. We will break our silence tomorrow morning at about 9am. Our world could use some more silence.
