That's beautiful. One of my favourites is to only say something if you can improve upon the silence.

Just quietly looking.
ReplyDeleteI went on a silent retreat once, for a weekend. When you remove speaking, a lot of distractions are removed from your day. At the end of the weekend, I felt refreshed, as if I'd been gone for a month. Note: out on a solitary walk, I wound up discovering a pond on the monastery, and I walked through the tall grass to get there. I was attacked by a goose. Temporarily, I forgot my vow of silence.
