 The Doctor of Divinity is answering frequently asked questions. Today’s faq

1. What do you listen to?

I listen to a lot of quiet.

I listen to the wind, rain,

seagulls, sheep bells, sometimes the swish of cars passing, and often my own breathing in and out.

Sometimes I listen to Paul Simon and similar artists. Lots of slip sliding away and still crazy after all these years.

Often I listen to books by Louise Penny. Lisa Kors suggested these to me years ago and I never got into them. Now I love them and there’s 1 million of them. I guess I was saving them for when I needed community on the road.

I listen to the sound on my own voice while I sing, or argue with my bike navigation app. “ Why are you telling me to go left? There is no left.”

The quiet is restful.
