    Being alone is not something anyone puts forth as good and healthy. Being silent, sitting in silence, listening to God, is even harder. We fill our lives with noise. Thanks for sharing this, El.

    I remember when I was growing up, it was so normal to just spend time thinking or daydreaming. We seem to have lost the art of doing this in western society. The man in your photo does seem to be taking a moment to think, something we should all do and without any of the guilt we have attached to it. Thanks for this Ellen. XO

    I do think sometimes silence is the best prescription we can write for ourselves.
