It was a day chock full of quiet and thoughtful conversations held in doorways and stairwells. I sensed that people wanted to talk. Perhaps it was the radical change in the weather. We went from drab, gray soaking rains to bright sunshine and a fresh and clearing breeze. People seemed to need to re-connect. A good friend and I snuck out during a brief break and headed to Dunkin Doughnuts for a hot and free cup of coffee. Another friend had given us coupons last month and every Wednesday has meant a free cup of delicious brew. Let me tell you that it is a powerful feeling walking into a doughnut shop and exiting with just a cup of coffee and one creamer.
There were more conversations as the day went on. I thought about how much more can be communicated and so much more thoroughly when people are quiet. Noise increases my desire to overeat. I need food to strengthen me against the onslaught of babble. No more babble please. We adults need quiet and serenity. Our kids need the same. My mind needs quiet so that I can be successful with food and my eating choices.
