Nov. 29th, 2004 10:23 amSo, I took a vacation. Even though I didn't really have the time to, I decided that I didn't have the sanity not to, so I took several days off. not completely off. I still got some work done, but I didn't strain myself to do it.
But on Saturday, I stopped. Not stopped work, but simply stopped. I spent a good hour in silence, alone. I hadn't spent time in silence for, well, a long long time. I just don't ever stop doing things. If I'm not going somewhere or working on something, I'm reading for fun, or I'm watching a DVD, or I'm listening to music. But Saturday night, I just stopped for a while and meditated on the silence. I did it for a while Sunday morning too. I think I am going to be more silent in life for a while. I tend to talk too much.
