But this one is real isn't it? I have often been stunned by it. Not like: Amicable divorce; airline food; friendly fire; non-working mother etc!

The technology and 'busy-ness' that I have surrounded myself with, their absence created an uncomfortable ringing in my ears, almost like an echo. I was shocked how long it took for the ringing to subside and was disappointed that it never did entirely. In my case eventually I determined that I was not experiencing complete silence. The woods were speaking their own language for anyone who cared to listen, and would have babbled on whether I had been there or not. I experienced that type of silence this past weekend.

Nice piece of writing. The photo of the canoeist is a great metaphor for life. I felt the silence, Greg. Nice piece of writing. The photo of the canoeist is a great metaphor for life.

I know that deafening silence of late fall/early winter that you write about so well. Thank you. Your writing and images never fail to move me, Greg.
