The Sound of Silence

(Hello darkness, my old friend...)

Last year I wrote this wondering whether or not I could get away with a silent sermon.  No noise, no nothing, just reflective calm.  A time to pause and reflect on the world.

Then Mrs Gerbil had her own take on silence the other day.

Now, according to the BBC, St Peter's Church, in East Blatchington has released its own CD of silence.  Not complete silence, it's still the atmosphere of the church, with odd voices, and cars passing by, but it's still a reflective, quiet calm. 

So do we need more silence?  If you could borrow an anechoic chamber, with no other distractions, how long would you last before you craved noise?




P.S. if you are a BSG fan, Google for the Sound of Cylons.
