OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
When things fall apart and we can’t get the pieces back together, when we lose something dear to us, when the whole thing is just not working…this is our chance to come out of our self-protecting bubble and to realize that we are never alone…Deep down in the human spirit there is a reservoir of courage.

From Taking the Leap: Freeing Ourselves from Old Habits and Fears, by Pema Chödrön, edited by Sandy Boucher, published by Shambhala in 2011.

In a congregation I once served was a man who’d been there many years—not a noisy person, but one who was pretty loud in his dislike of silence in the Sunday service. “That’s not what we pay you for,” he told me when we introduced a time of meditation every week—the briefest eye-blink of silent me…
Three sanctuaries of silence come to mind as I think about creating more space for silence in my life. The first is a quiet lake I love up north in Wisconsin. Shoe Lake is about a twenty-minute walk from a little place we used to have in the Nicolet National Forest. There are only two human dwelli…
When I was a child I used to fear the silence. One of the tortures I endured was being thrown into a small closet with no light, and being left there for days at a time.
As a six-year-old, I was terrified of the silence because it represented that closet. Dark, lonely, cramped. All alone, after a…
