Huh? I totally didn't get it. But now I'll run anywhere to have that quiet gentle time. Nora Bee- You're right. Without the spaces of silence music would just run together. We can think of ourselves in that way as well. Just interject a little silence here and there and it's the difference between a loud blaring sound and a beautifully composed masterpeice. Evelyn- Thanks for sharing. I'll make it a point to go visit you. I've always been attracted to meditation and yoga for that reason. It's a time to hear your own heart beat and be. Still.

Like you, I read Lance's post. It was great. I actually love silence. I work in the quiet and when I drive, I rarely have the radio on. I enjoy being "alone" with my thoughts and find I'm more productive. I love how you see yourself in your little patients. I'm sure they feel your compassion.

What a great post.

Like you, I read Lance’s post. It was great. I actually love silence. I work in the quiet and when I drive, I rarely have the radio on. I enjoy being “alone” with my thoughts and find I’m more productive.

I love how you see yourself in your little patients. I’m sure they feel your compassion.

It's only years later that I keep looking back and remembering this one time. Audubon- Not equipped for what activity? Kyla- Normally I'm okay with speaking- As long as it's something I know. But the silence. Unnerving. Lisa- given hat I have read so far, probably very sweet. Tiff- I'm sure. Hospitals tend to give you time to reflect. A forced rest. Queen Mommy- Sure!!

I think I would have cried, too. I'm not the best at public speaking, but I can handle it because I at least have the words to focus on. I don't know how I could be silent with all that uncomfortable attention. I'm glad you remember that when treating your wee patients, though. That's important.
