Soul Talk
A couple of years ago I spent ten days solo-hiking in the Swiss Alps. Other than negotiating the price of sleeping space in an alpine mountain hut or an occasional "I-greet-you-in-the-name of-God" to a passing walker, I don't think I engaged in any other conversation for the entire time.

Enveloped in enforced quietness, one is likely to move in the direction of the soul rather than the many noise-centers on the periphery of life. On alpine paths there are no portable stereos, no cellular phones, no persuasion messages from signs, and no million-and-one people clamoring for our attention. Apart from beautiful views, there is nothing more than what we can find in the inner person. . .
