The sounds of silence

One of the three places the words of the prophets can be found.

The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls, and whispered in the sounds of silence.

9 minutes of silence

Observed by many, across America, to honor the life of George Floyd, murdered by asphyxiation.

In the sunlight of a spring afternoon, they stood together, side by side, and held a vigil - 9 minutes of silence - the time that George Floyd was pinned to the street and asphyxiated by the kneeling weight of a Minneapolis cop.
