SILENCE IS GRACEFUL IN A NOISY SUMMER WORLD

In order to hear God’s word, we must be quiet and listen. Using the teaching of Father Jerome Kodell, OSB, who is the former abbot of Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas, on the grace of silence in a noisy world, there is great value in silence. Summer becomes a period dominated by noise, but how can we deal with this evil using these various approaches; by controlling our foreground, Bombardment of Bad News, finding your focus, retreating to your inner room and lastly meeting God regularly.

We are encouraged to keep silence. But that is backwards. Silence keeps us. We sense this understanding in Jesus’ practice of seeking solitude and silence after a busy day of work. “Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed” (Mk 1:35). When the apostles return from a mission, he says to them, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while” (Mk 6:31).

Many of the people we deal with are stressed by the noise in their lives. They may spend most of the day in a noisy workplace and then sit in traffic on the way home. And even at home, if there is not chat and movement of children, the restless atmosphere may be self-induced by a steady TV background, whether the set is watched or not. When moments of silence become rarer in our lives, the more fearful of silence we become and the more unable we are to sustain silence without filling it with inner noise. Father Henri Nouwen described this experience: “As soon as I decide to stay in my solitude, confusing ideas, disturbing images, wild fantasies and weird associations jump about in my mind like monkeys in a banana tree. Anger and greed begin to show their ugly faces. I give long, hostile speeches to my enemies and dream lustful dreams in which I am wealthy, influential and very attractive or poor, ugly and in need of immediate consolation.”

Controlling the Foreground

Probably more than at any other time in history, people are suffering from “dominance of the foreground.” The foreground in this phrase means just what it says: whatever is in front of you and can get your attention without requiring you to look over your shoulder or turn around. In fact, it is hard to ignore.

But it is more than what is in your visual foreground. It is what is on your mind, especially the residual images of people and events that you can’t erase simply by willing it. These images might be good (a spouse, a child, a fiancée), or painful (a tragic wreck, a hate crime), or harmful (pornography or a hope of revenge). These images, especially the ones we don’t want, cannot be dismissed easily from our minds and may haunt us for days or weeks, so we must not carelessly let them in. They are like whining mosquitoes we can’t swat away once they get in the house.

When you are dominated by the foreground, your life is manipulated by these changing images, and there is no stability or peace. The secret of inner peace is to be dominated by a background, which means a firm philosophy of life by which everything that comes into our foreground is judged and evaluated. Without that, what is in the foreground sets its own agenda for our life and dominates our perception of reality. When things are going well, we are satisfied and at peace, but our equilibrium may be upset at any moment because it is on an unstable foundation.

The background of people of faith is what they have come to believe as the meaning of life, their creed, their theology. If they really have embraced this faith as the core of their life, it becomes like a backbone holding up the whole structure.

To be continued next week with Bombardment of Bad News
