When You Say Nothing at All

I have a confession to make that probably won’t surprise anyone who has ever caught up with me on the telephone. Back in the days when phone calls were the only way to have real-time conversations with someone who wasn’t in the same room, I used to say a little prayer almost every time I had to initiate one: “Dear God. Please let them not pick up. I’d like to delay actually having to talk to them for as long as possible. Amen.” As long as I’m being brutally honest, I might as well confess that I still have that little prayer on speed dial in my head. <a href="https://jeremyhelligar.medium.com/when-you-say-nothing-at-all-dc8d3b3582f8">Website</a>
