For nine years on this blog I have written about silence, solitude and simplicity. Although some of my post may not have appeared to stick to the topic, my longing for the 3Ss has not wavered. This morning I sit in my daughter’s living room sipping coffee as I watch the fire. People are beginning to stir and soon the house will be filled with activity and conversation. Silence, solitude, and simplicity will appear to have disappeared.
Celebrating Christmas is about talking and laughing with others, and about preparing and enjoying food with them--not a simple task to orchestrate. And yet, it is these very days of joyful celebration with friends and family that enable us to tap into the silence, solitude, and simplicity that is part of the secular and sacred Christian message.
