Quiet Island....

Unexpectedly, things are very quiet up north. We were expecting a snowstorm, but it hasn't arrived. No snow for skiing means no snow for snowmobiling, which means that things are very quiet. Good time for a walk.

Quiet is not an absence...any more than a view of the woods with no houses is an absence. Quiet is a "thing". We need quiet seasons and quiet places, quiet celebrations and for all of this to happen we need....quiet hunters! People who search out silence actively, and promote and defend it aggressively.

I hope for the snowmobilers and skiiers that we get a blizzard tonight. But for now, quiet rules!
