So today I ordered some "Wildlife Conservation Area" signs hoping that a silent hospitable approach might work. We'll see.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, too, for letting me know about your using Holy Silence. It's always good to hear that folks have found the book helpful -- or at least good for discussion!<BR/>-- BrentBrent Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01351957537347562545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36295725.post-80681737349542315842007-08-22T12:23:00.000-04:002007-08-22T12:23:00.000-04:00Would that I had remembered them sooner, walked th...<I>Would that I had remembered them sooner, walked the creek in silence, and approached the three with the concern for the earth and her inhabitants that I held as the reason for my rage.</I><BR/><BR/>Right. That's what you will do NEXT time. It's about the journey to that place, a journey during which we will all stumble at times.<BR/><BR/>I'm 49 years old, and a convinced Friend for only the last four years. I teach middle school kids. My daily practice is making me a better teacher, especially in terms of classroom discipline. I even had a kid ask me last year, "Mr. A., we're all so crazy. How do you stay so CALM?"<BR/><BR/>But sometimes, I don't. And then I'm hard on myself.<BR/><BR/>By the way, a friend of mine and I used your <I>Holy Silence</I> as the basis for a two-session Adult First Day School book discussion group this past spring, and it was a wonderful experience. We hope to use <I>Mind the Light</I> this coming spring for a similar class. Thanks for what you do.QuakerDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10727729821155579518noreply@blogger.com
