Mary’s post on Thursday ended with her thoughts on silence in theater.
It reminded me of an article I read recently about a woman who decided to take a vow of silence and see how it affected her daily routine. She tried it for a whole day, found she liked her new perspective on the world, and has been doing it twice a month—since 1992! While I do find the idea of going to work –and not saying a word—a bit ridiculous, I do like the challenge of being silent and choosing to express yourself in exactly what needs to be said, instead of idle chatter.
I would say more…but I choose to be silent.
