#Silence

Mini readathon for the next two days... Actually just Sat/Sun mornings. My chunkster will be set aside and I'm going to enjoy these books. Happy weekend!

I spent a delightful hour absorbed into this book on Sunday afternoon.

You see, #hyggehourreadathon doesn't work for me at 8 pm as that's when I'm shuffling off to bed and can't concentrate anymore.

But I can sit and dip into a small book on the weekend that's a quick read.

This was good but ultimately, forgettable. I read this one because my word of the year is stillness. Decent intro but still looking for more on this topic.

#WorstRead2024 @CSeydel

The Silence Factory wins. I know this might be an #UnpopularOpinion, but I just found the book boring. I guess Gothic is not my jam.

TNH explains the power of silence by slowing down the mind so that we can recognize the surrounding beauty. Many people search for happiness; however, they spend their days frantically running from one place to another. Silence is about cultivating quiet in our minds amid chaos. TNH offers techniques to remind us to be present in the moment with equanimity in a noisy environment or mind.

This is either one of the best books I‘ve read on the Christian practice of contemplation—or I read it at exactly the right time. Or both. It made connections between contemplation and the fruit of the practice in ways that clicked for me. I‘ve found contemplation to be an exercise in trust & letting go. Laird‘s descriptions of the journey into silence dovetailed with that experience—it resonated deeply. I‘m so glad I read it at the time I did.

my favourite thing about reading this (aside from Bridget Collins ability to captivate me with a story where I never at any point have any idea what to expect) is that a friend read this a couple of weeks ahead of me - and as such was subjected to all my thoughts from “does he want to fuck that old man” to “he‘s just followed him into the factory - like a complete idiot” without giving me any spoilers (emotional support, I guess?)

Henry is going through it.

The man is (completely) delusional and working hard to ignore some very red flags… I fear he‘s doomed by the narrative and yet I still hold out (a little bit of) hope.

I should go to sleep though. I do have work… later today 😜 (oops)

This was my #DoubleSpin for May. Nothing profound or thought-provoking. It felt like it was just the author's rambling thoughts put on paper and then organized into a book.
