Ceasing From Noise
Lent 2026: Week 3, Episode 5
Is the constant clamor of the world drowning out the voice you most need to hear? In this episode of Creative Thinking, Kim Thomas discusses the practice of ceasing from noise. We look at how intentionally quieting our surroundings creates the necessary space to re-enter life more gently and find the God who is a friend of silence.
Kim’s Notes:
“Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence…
His anxiety subsides. His inhuman void spreads monstrously like a gray vegetation.”
Jean Arp
“We need to find God, and He cannot be found in noise and restlessness.
God is the friend of silence.”
Mother Teresa
