“Quiet City”
The city – our city – is a noisy, hectic and chaotic place. To drive anywhere in the city at almost any time of the day is to confront traffic jams, constructions delays, and reckless vehicles in too much of a hurry. The sidewalks in many areas are crowded with people rushing from one place to the next, seemingly oblivious to their surroundings and to other people. Even in a pandemic, we are often overwhelmed by the constant cacophony of our urban environment.
So – where do we go to find peace and quiet in the city? Not everyone can escape to a cottage or other place in the country, away from the city. In fact, most people in the city are confined to the city. So – it is important for a city to have quiet places – places that offer the possibility of spiritual refreshment and renewal. These places are sometimes difficult to discover – but they exist. One just needs to know where to find them.
Spirit Alive on Saturday morning, November 13, at 10:30 am. will discuss the quiet city – or more particularly, a quiet Toronto. Where do we go to find the Quiet City. Participants are requested to bring to the discussion two or three suggestions of places in the city where, in your view, it is possible to enjoy solace and experience a retreat from urban frenzy. David Phillips will lead this discussion on Zoom.
