In Praise of Silence

Let us praise silence. Let us take a moment, a moment of silence, to honor silence. Let's speak up for those who don't speak, don't say every last thing on their mind.

There is something admirable about not speaking, of sitting quietly, letting the world pass by without comment.

Sometimes it is better to leave things left unsaid. Maybe better to reflect, take it in, let it settle, let it go. We don't always need to have an opinion, or to express one.

Silence.
