Did I miss anything?’: A man emerges from a 75-day silent retreat in Vermont
On the morning of May 23, Daniel Thorson rejoined society after an absence of 2 1/2 months.
He had spent that time in silent meditation in a cabin in remote northwestern Vermont, where he is part of a Buddhist monastic community. During his 75 days in isolation, his hair had grown out. The last snow of winter had melted, and the trees had budded. Frogs had come out of hibernation and begun peeping.
Thorson, a podcaster and enthusiastic online philosopher, had also missed 75 news cycles. And so, less than two hours after ending his silent retreat, Thorson logged back onto Twitter.
“Did I miss anything?” he wrote.
