As we embark on Holy Week, try her suggestion. Try the sound of silence. For me, when I get very quiet, I can hear the small, still voice inside which is intuition – how God speaks to us in our hearts. Although I cannot totally turn off the computer this week (I have to meet client deadlines, for example, and turn my copy in on time), I can do as she suggests. Turn off the television, especially those addictive political talk shows and other talk shows with people yelling at each other over the table. Turn off the radio. Turn off the videos. Turn off the music. Work in silence. Sit in silence. Just breathe, and “be still and know that I am God.”
