My final post in the blogging exchange in which Michelle and I have explored the book Into the Silent Land is up.
Michelle's will appear here in the next few days and then, we hope, author Marty Laird will weigh in.
I'm personally hoping that, among other things, he might address the question of context. As I wrote my previous post, I noticed that in her book When God is Silent, Barbara Brown Taylor says that, "The polyvalence of silence is what makes it so intriguing. Context is everything."
Now that I've spent months pouring over Into the Silent Land, and many more months than that listening to God's silence, I find myself in disagreement with her. Context may surprise or perplex us, but God's silence seems to have a quality that transcends all context.
Perhaps we'll get some answers from the Silence Expert. Or more questions, which would do as well.

Silence. It is a whole new language to me. I am learning to hear something in the silence. I never would have considered such a concept if not for you and your blog. Thanks...
