Silence is a great canvas for your thoughts. That vacuum helps turn all of your inputs to outputs. That lack of interruption helps you flow.*
Derek Sivers
I love to be alone. I have never found a companion that is so compatible as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we are among others then when we stay in our chambers.**
Henry David Thoreau
Solitude and silence
are traditionally disciplines
for the interior life.
There are two forms
of disciplines –
those for engagement
and those for withdrawal.
Solitude and silence
invite and welcome us
from a busy and
garrulous world.
They are not emptiness but
an overflowing accommodation for
curiosity, deep-diving
and playfulness.
