this year has had a cumulative *weight*, culminating in recent events in sydney (and the blogosphere, etc.) which all but silenced me.

i almost deleted this blog a few days ago, feeling that i have nothing to say, especially when everyone else seems to be saying so much. listening is what i do best, but the relentless cacophony can be overwhelming. in such circumstances it is normal for me to retreat into my own private space.

but today feels relatively peaceful. the sun is shining and there is a cool breeze. i’ll be spending the evening with dear friends with whom i always have great conversation. perhaps my voice is returning…

    I hear you. But don’t delete your blog. Australia, like Bali, needs to celebrate the new year with Nyepi, a day of silence.

    That’s beautiful, thanks.
