Silence is not merely the absence of voices without – it’s the opportunity to listen to the voice from within.
In ruminating on this “silence axiom” . . .
Methinks – it’s not getting me some needed peace-n-quiet, it’s my taking silence’s opportunities.
The prophet records God’s words to a restless Judah . . . “If you return and be quiet, you shall be saved: in silence and in hope shall your strength be.” Then the sad rejoinder “and you would not” - Isaiah 30:15 (Douay Rheims Bible)Don’t know about you, I’m for some ruminating in silence, not just on it . . .

It certainly makes it easier to hear when our mouths are shut , the tv etc is silent and especially if we can get out in God's fresh air. Listening to God is much easier in silence.
