FROM THE EDITORS December 27, 2010 Issue

THE PEACE AND POWER OF QUIET

The message of the Christ gets through. The stilling of storms, emotional as well as physical, takes place.

SILENCE, IT TURNS OUT, is even better than it sounds. Maybe you are a country-dweller living so far from town that, come morning, you actually still wake to the proverbial rooster. If so, the crowing may come as welcome confirmation of what you already know—it's great to live where the sounds of the day are largely the sounds of nature. For the most part, they stay well in the background.
