Barbara, of barefoot towards the light, has a wonderful little post on the Easter Triduum, where she speaks of "withdraw[ing] behind a white silence." I think, as the hours pass on towards Good Friday, that that is the right place for me, too. As Barbara also says, "it is more than called for."

A white silence...
I have not been posting as regularly as I would have liked to, recently. I'll try and write more on why after Easter, but actually these last weeks have also been externally scattered, in a good way, with old friends from across the world and from the other end of the country coming to visit, and to see around our county, and to be shown some of the lovely hidden places of Purbeck!

Tonight after our Holy Thursday Eucharist, we had adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. The phrase "a white silence" came back to me as I looked on the ciborium covered with a white cloth, so chastely and immaculately and pristinely white. It all seemed to come together for me.
Peace and a joyous Easter, Mike.
White silence is like the infinite sound of nothingness, which I believe is Holy Saturday.
