The Case for Silence
All of our great contemplative traditions advocate the necessity for silence in an individual life: first, for gaining a sense of discernment amid the noise and haste, second, as a basic building block of individual happiness, and third, to let this other all-seeing identity come to life and find its voice inside us.
David Whyte • The Three Marriages: Reimagining Work, Self and Relationship
We’re addicted to noise. Music while we shower, podcasts while we drive, videos while we eat. Silence feels unbearable, yet silence is where truth waits. Without it, we forget how to hear ourselves. And without hearing ourselves, we forget who we are.
