Someone on the web has described it this way, and included a link to an interview with the publisher:

Nan Merrill has pubished a modest newsletter, "Friends of Silence," for many years as a labor of love. In its pages, she explores silence, solitude, and community with the universe, grand themes but in a gentle and modest tone. In this interview with Heron Dance, she discusses her published books, favorite books, and life-changing experiences.

Many of the quotes in the September issue are on the topic of work. If you'd like to get a sample issue or to subscribe, write to: Friends of Silence, 11 Cardiff Lane, Hannibal, MO 63401.

Here's a quote, a prayer really, from the current issue. I've been reading this brief prayer by Martin and Micah Marty at the start of the day:

As the day brings us the petty round of irritating duties, help us to perform them with laughter and a kind face; give us to go blithely on our business.
