Mental Silence vs mental overload - mid conference spiel

I have had a letter published in The Weekend Australian Magazine - related to a joint telling of the story of a father & daughter in their struggle with living with a mental illness.
I wrote off a few letters on a weekend when there were very few residents where I work and I had time to reflect.
Would like more reflection time in my life.
The last few days have been full on with an ideas festival, a state theatre production, work - notes, proposals, problems, church, a conference on spirituality & health and in between all the domestics that have to be done.
When I am in Cairns I plan to do NO cooking or cleaning(!)
Lots of questions. Spiritual autobiographies - spirituality & ageing, mental silence vs mindfulness?
Need time to process it all.
In the State Library waiting for the conference dinner-never attended one before, but thought I would investigate.
