I would like to share this video with you. It is a TED talk by Dr John Francis, whose book Planetwalker, has had a profound effect on me since I first read it several years ago. After witnessing an oil spill, and helping in the clean-up operations, he gave up using any form of motorised transport, and just walked. He also gave up talking for 17 years - during which time he graduated from three universities, eventually gaining a PhD. 17 years of silence - no talking, no arguing, just listening.
In this video, he shares some of that experience, and some of what he learned during that time. It is quite long - 20 minutes, so you may need to come back to it. I hope you do - he is a wonderful man. In the spirit of silence - no comments required. xxx
