“…Good speech is silver, but silence is pure gold —Ephrem the Syrian

There’s a time to speak. And there’s a time to be silent. And sadly, it’s all to easy to fill our lives with noise, and never make room just to be still.

But some insight and understanding only come when we slow down and are quiet. So although we can learn many things from the wise words of others, sometimes the most profound lessons come when we take time to silently be.
