vol. 4 issue 7 Greetings, Here’s a thought. What if instead of distracting ourselves with ways to avoid death, which is what we Americans are especially adept at doing, we just sat still for a moment? Rather than fixate on how much toxin we can afford to inject in our face in three-, maybe four-month intervals, on how much square footage we can afford to build and then stuff with stuff, on whether to use Door Dash or just crack an egg, on how far our imaginations can wrap around the complicated nonsense that convinces us we must pay for health insurance that covers nothing at all when you get right down to it, like in the moments when we actually face death, and this one is where I got stuck this morning — on how my fellow countrymen and women (and trans and all that) are so polarized…what if instead we just you know, shut up for a few minutes?
Beautiful. Thank you to both the 2 writers and the 2 artists. I’m a music lover and today I’m going to enjoy the silence. And the music from that. Fans of you both.
Wow... I was just reading along and then I saw my name pop up. :) Thank you so much for this. I was feeling a bit sad about the number of ❤️’s on this post and imagining that it’s probably too long and too slow for most people’s taste. Thank you for giving me your attention. Hal
Hush, be still, and feast on the silence
