going silent

well tomorrow I go silent for 10 days, actually entering a 10 day silent meditation/retreat at a local Wat up here in northern Thailand. I want to see what it will be like, sort of a challenge to myself and to see what comes of it. The ol saying goes, take control of your mind, meditate! So lets see if I can get control. For 10 days there is no outside intervention at all. That means no computer, cell phone, reading or writing material. Could be lonely, we'll see! My first impression the other day was the movie, 'One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest'. Everyoone is required to wear all whites and there is no interaction amongst the people, just daily debriefings with the monk. So the impression was a lot of people just wandering around in all whites, great huh! Going crazy!!
