YEAR OF ZEN: SPRING: DAY 67

Q: What is your relationship to silence?

A: I have always valued silence and savor moments where I am able to dwell in it. This is something I actively sought out in the years after my dad died. I would seek out silence in the expanses of the Wasatch Mountains and deserts of southern Utah. Those were formative moments in my life and set me on a trajectory. I need that again in my life, which I love but which is also filled with so much noise.
