HERMIT RULES 4 & 5: Do not let the world’s discord affect you. Keep your lives simple and with the help of God you will overcome any obstacle. Don't rush about. Stop and be still. Open and close doors carefully when passing through them. Step by step you will discover silence.

As Sara Ahmed writes in Complaint! "Although complaint can be a shattering ... to make a complaint is often to fight for something. To refuse what has come to be is to fight to be."

After losing my voice, I am grateful to have arrived at St Stephen's House, Oxford during Maundy Thursday, with its gentle call to stillness. It feels like the right place to pause, reflect, and contemplate. #Triduum #oxford #silence

WE DON'T OWN SILENCE, BUT WE NEED IT: You ask why I make my home in the mountain forest, and I smile, and am silent, even my soul remains quiet; It lives in the other world which no one owns. The peach trees blossom, the water flows. ( Li Po 701 - 762 )

Did Jürgen Habermas just die on the same day as Karl Marx?

This is good, but I wish UCAS would begin to record the statistics for #careleavers and #careexperienced who end up doing PhDs and postgraduate study also. There is a lack of any data on this.
