- The Silent Hour:
Sister Louisa Poole writes:
The great event on Day 2 was a Symbolic Action that we performed, by the cathedral: a silent hour with all hundred of us in a large semicircle standing still and unmoving. We had placards that created much very polite interest to passers by, as did our stance with people stopping and gazing, looking at the placards and reading the handouts.
Placards said things like: (as well as more obvious ecological messages)
Between saying and doing there is giving.

I want more; more spiritual energy, more cooperative games, more brilliant friends, more mind travel.

I want more spiritual energy, friends and inspiration.
I want a community full of energy.

Very well received and the hour was after all only an hour! We survived with good humour intact.
