Just a note about the title of my blog. I chose this after watching a documentary on monasticism. It was powerful for both Zach and me. I was reminded of how inundated we are with noise on a daily basis and how hard it is for us to just sit silently and soak up the tunes of life around us. Our senses are becoming desensitized to the wonders (color, sounds, feelings and smells) of our world. So much can happen internally if we were just to sit, silently and be with our self, our thoughts, our dreams and fears - AND the world right in front of us. I fear what will come of our generation and the next due to the ever increasing influence of internet and technology. Our generation gets bored all too easily. Oh my. Please join me by stepping out of the noise and back to relationship with the living world that surrounds us. It truly is a magical place. I leave you with those thoughts for now. Funny how I am on the internet as I write these thoughts.

Hey Jill. I loved your website and I'm sure I'll continue lurking on your blog. We've had the same problem with googlepages but we use the site more as a photo album/shrine for Graham (the long distance family can't get enough). I hate the lack of features it offers but I think we'll stick with it since I'm not using it to post my "musings". Anyhow, I can't wait to see your creative flair come through on your blog. Take care!
