Reflection

Quietude

It is better to enrich yourself through purity of spirit and to be without anxiety and then to speak.

— Abba Sisoes

Why this matters:

Meaningful speech must emerge from a depth of settled peace. If we speak from a place of anxiety or mental clutter, our words only add to the world’s confusion. Quietude is the necessary preparation for any word that hopes to carry weight or light.
