Fear of Silence – It Can Be Loud

The fear of silence runs deep. For many of us, the fear of silence shows up when we are lying in bed at three in the morning with "freight train brain" and can't fall back asleep. For others, the fear of silence is loudest when sitting at a bus stop or a restaurant by ourselves. Technology has found a way for us to temporarily escape our fear of silence. We do not have to deal with our fear of silence, because we can always push a button for instant stimulation. Does pushing buttons actually quell our fear of silence? What if we made the conscious choice to actually sit and be with silence instead of trying to escape it? What do you think we can learn about ourselves and each other in silence?...
