as i sit in this coffee shop, on the eve of Remembrance Day, coincindentally trying to piece together thoughts about conflict resolution, nonviolence, and the global community, there is a hockey game on the television. they just had a moment for the fallen (the last call is such a moving trumpet piece). however, when usually there is a moment of silence, there was an audiovisual presentation.
without really being able to hear the context, it concerns me. have we become so short-attentioned/afraid of silence that we can no longer have it even as a part of Remembrance Day?

ooooh graeme! good to see you ;)
and good words here. why does everyone feel compelled to make a "presentation" for everything...such an obsession...gah yet another topic that'd make a fantastic discussion if only we were all in the same place and time together!
