Blogging Toward Sunday
As our study of Parker Palmer's writing comes to a close, I share this quote about silence and laughter:
Here's wishing you a little silence and laughter this week,
Tracy
It takes good friends to sustain silence and laughter because both make us vulnerable. Silence makes us vulnerable because when we stop making noise, we lose control: who knows what thoughts or feelings might arise if we turned off the television or stopped yammering for a while? Laughter makes us vulnerable because it often comes in response to our flaws and foibles: who knows how foolish we might look when the joke is on us? We can share silence and laughter only when we trust each other - and the more often we share them, the deeper our trust grows.
Here's wishing you a little silence and laughter this week,
