At many Quaker meetings, individuals gather in silence, seated on pews facing each other. Anybody who feels so compelled may stand up and speak. Here, a seemingly mundane gathering of people becomes spiritual. Breathing, seeing, hearing, and being are now saturated with heightened awareness. Every once in a while, a voice chimes in and contributes meaning to the quiet. The slightest movements, of sharing space in close proximity, become magnified. Inside a large room, a complete gathering of strangers draws out the sonic weight of stillness.
