These days I have much time to recharge in silence, as I live alone with my small dog. Recently I travelled for ten days in the company of others - first a dear friend, then with my daughter. There was much more human interaction than my day to day life and I loved it all. Then came home to my quiet little house and recharged. I think it is a fine line to walk, between silence and disengagememt from the world. For me it involves curating what I let into my life via reading, video and other experiences and it's a balancing act. I think it is possible to live in engaged silence, for periods of time. Without this, I find the world overwhelming.
