Another thought about silence

Hi class,

This week I have been pondering the idea of silence more.  I have been thinking about it more on a personal level, rather than silence in a conversation (The opposite of speaking).  I tried to think of the moments and places when I am silent most often.  The first case I thought of was watching a movie.  For me personally I think it gets annoying when people are not silent in movies.  I found it interesting that some places and activities are meant to be done in silence, it is the norm.  Another time where I find daily silence is when I walk around campus to class.  It gives me time to take in all that is around me. A time to truly enjoy the surrounding background noise.  I found it interesting that on some occasions like this when for others it would not be a norm to be silent, I am silent. And I enjoy this daily silence and time for thought.
So as you go about your day and your week try to think of the times when you are silent most frequently. Think about how you feel when you are silent in these moments.  Do you enjoy them?
