Recently watched a video of a presentation activist John Francis did.
A very capable speaker, he decided to not speak, for a day, a week, a year, and 17 years.
I'm inspired, not to do the same, but to have conversations without speaking and just affirming and validating (listening well). I'm been so engaged in debate and trying to prove my points that I've lost my skills in just loving without an agenda. School does that, you think you must understand everything, talk about everything, analyze everything, and life (and God) loses it's mystery. I want to learn how to learn again. To be a lover of God, a lover of people, yet also a mystic.
This will be very difficult as i'm opinionated, yet hopefully freeing as i tend to debate imaginary people in my head when not in real life. i must quiet down...
