Dear Allen Temple Family and Friends,

 

Well, I guess I'm in it now! It's the second week of Lent and I am still writing. Can I make a confession? We're close and I trust you can handle it. Centering Down is HARD!

 

It requires me to do something that seems so simple and yet is so challenging. That something is to: BE SILENT. Maybe I am the only one or perhaps it's environmental but there is always noise. The television is on although I am not watching. The iPad is usually broadcasting audio from a meeting and let's not mention the phone. Yes, the Android that I still own. Noise is intentionally everywhere all the time. Even when sleeping, there is the sound of rain that plays all night.
