christmas is; always different! Some years its happy, some years depressing. haha but all this talk of silence makes me think of John Cages 4minutes and 33 seconds! A piece of pure silence! {truly thats what it is} the conductor has a sheets of music and counts of and turns the pages and everything as if there is sound! because the silence is the music!

i go through ups and downs during Christmas...first, there's the anticipation. you're just so darn excited to finally start celebrating the birth of the Savior. but then you're just totally Christmas-ed out because of all the commercialism surrounding the holiday. and then you get excited again on Christmas Eve.
at least that's me. glad you know i'm not alone! :)

I've been the same way recently. All I want to do is just sit at home and read. Or sit at home and watch movies/TV shows on Netflix. You get the idea. I think that because the stress of school is for once off our shoulders it's nice to just do things that you want and not have to worry about what you should be doing at that moment.

I have a question...you are obviously a pastor's daughter, but how does religion actually affect you personally? Are you a believer/member of your church? Which church do you guys attend? I am only curious because of the title of your blog...

I like silence, too. Oh, and these photos are simply stunning. I like the kind of vibe they give off - almost bleak. Well done!

2011-12-17T12:36:12.164-06:00

oh, i have a question!

you talk quite a bit about a notebook that you use for writing. what kinds of things do you write about outside of blogging? how long do you spend on average writing every day?

Of course, I know what you mean.
One of my favorite songs is called "The Sound of Silence". It's by Simon & Garfunkel, from the soundtrack of Watchmen.

I've remembered something I wanted to ask you! Do you speak German or English at home? With Alina & Amanda? With your family in Germany? Coming from a bilingual family (French) I'm always interested in languages with other people with a similar story.

2011-12-17T06:08:50.852-06:00

I remember one of my teachers saying that you couldn't begin to talk to other people until you were happy with silence. That you needed to be comfortable with silence before you made noise in the morning. And I try and practice that, but it's hard.

Being a bit of a loner, I love silence. Though, there are times when I do for crave noise and the company of friends (and even strangers). Enjoy your Christmas break while it lasts! :-)

Even though it's a simple post, I love it. Sometimes, especially with the chaos in my life, I just need to be reminded to sit down and let the silence surround me. Thanks for reminding me :) Also, I've never thought about writing letters to people without sending them. I think I might try that soon!

Have a merry christmas :)

I can SO relate. I'd much rather tromp around fields and woods with my camera than be surrounded by people any day.
Your photography is gorgeous as always dear (:

I understand the feeling of "wanting to be alone". Hope you have a happy, eventful (in a good way) Winter.
