Its late but I feel good. If all goes well, God will send me tongue cancer so I can keep a vow of silence. I am very ok with that as long as I dont stay alive for another decade of silence.  am sure it is super super hard, but how romantic. Just like in the book by JohnIrving the world according to Gap. This would be practicing devotion: a vow of silence. I have been thinking about taking one ever since I read the book by John Irving as a teen , I think. And saw the movie with Rob Lowe and Jodie Foster. I enjoyed it a lot. I think I did anyway.
