Improving on the silence

Hi, Dallas,

You remind me of the tradition I learned back in college when I became, for a period of a few years, a Quaker (Society of Friends).

The weekly meeting for worship was a meeting of silence. Anyone was welcome to break the silence and say whatever they wished, if they felt that they could improve on the silence. Pretty weighty, trying to decide if something that came to mind was an improvement or not.

Sometimes, the most meaningful meetings were the ones that not one thing was said. (Unfortunately, I don't think a meeting of silence would work too well via e-mail.)
