FINDING TRUTH WHEREVER IT MAY BE FOUND: “As recently as the 1920s, silence was the ‘context of thought, conversation, and general 
existence,’ notes Joseph Urgo, author of In the Age of Distraction. Now this space is “colonized,” he writes. A realm of silence is as rare as a virgin forest and, to many of us, as eerie, ‘Inundated by perspectives, by lateral vistas of information that stretch in every direction, we no longer accept the possibility of assembling a complete picture,’ asserts literary critic Sven Birkerts. ‘We are experiencing in our time a loss of depth – a loss, that is, of the very paradigm of depth.’” From Maggie Jackson’s, “Distracted: The Erosion of Attention and the Coming Dark Age”

HA! I KNEW you'd post that pic! LOL
And I do love that photo of you with the car. (the original and this one both)
Well, coming from a mixture of Irish and even shorter French Canadians, I'm always impressed enough with anyone who can look across the top of a car..any car.. but this vehicle is a mammoth, like its visiting priest. Cool photo.
