At last, quiet

I found that I just might like the lockdown better than the normal goings on (except for the johnny sacks and lack of rec.) I woke up this morning and there was complete silence. No voices whispering, pages rustling, bodies shifting, dominoes being slammed. Just silence. It stayed quiet, the most quiet ever, for the whole afternoon until the evening johnny sacks were delivered. It was great.

Finally I was able to read without distractions and pray without my attention wandering. All too often my eyes are lifted by noise on the TV, loud conversations, or some random interruption. It is difficult to read anything when I have to go back and re-read lines, paragraphs, or entire pages. Today was it such a blessing to be able to escape into the world of C.S. Lewis and enjoy his writing fully.
