who did you introduce yourself to?

There have been a couple of times I've taken vows of silence for short periods of time. Something very freeing about it, actually. Will you actually be taking a vow of silence for a period, or is it just an icebreaker?

Oh, and you have the same paint I do, sitting on your desk.

I know all about vows of silence. I want to see some evidence of your vow other than that sign. How did it affect those around you? How did it affect you?

Silence

I chose to go mute on occasion, normally when I am camping because I feel it adds to the experience. I usually get yelled at by people because they want me to talk. I just shrug a lot. It works.

Nice. That's awesome.

I used to participate in a National Day of Silence (it's a GLBT awareness program that tends to be run at colleges and high schools), and it was a bit of a transforming experience. I don't know the terms of any particular vow of silence, but we all tended to use white boards or small sheets of paper for ordering food and communication. I had a prepared "Thank you" sheet of paper in my back pocket so I could whip it out whenever I needed to.

Also, siblings are awesome at translation. That's a neat discovery.

I've never felt like I could take the time for a vow of silence, but I'm glad you gave it a try! Very nice.
