Patrick T. Malone will return in a couple weeks. In his place, we’re sharing thoughts on silence from John P. Weiss.
Working alongside Patrick over the years, silence is a skill he masterfully demonstrates in nearly every interaction. Silence allows the what else? thoughts to surface and be available to discuss.
Weiss’ reflections on silence are less about decision trees, but applicable in the context of its power in our lives and relationships. “The quieter you are, the more you hear,” writes Weiss. It nourishes wisdom, boosts creativity, and improves wellbeing.
Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.”- Francis Bacon
