Feasting on Silence
Lent 2026: Week 3, Episode 6
Can silence be more than just an absence of sound? In this episode of Creative Thinking, Kim Thomas explores feasting on silence as nourishment for the spirit. We learn that by creating a “halo” of quiet within our souls, we prepare a place for grace to rest and unlock ourselves from the drivenness of worry.
Kim’s Notes:
“True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body—nourishment and refreshment.”
William Penn
“Not merely an absence of noise, real silence begins when a reasonable being withdraws from the noise in order to find peace and order in his inner sanctuary.”
Peter Minard
