Breaking Silence

We need silence in our lives because we cannot manage a constant stream of words.  Your words break the silence.  This being the case we must consider whether our words can be harmoniously accepted as an important break in the silence.  When you add to a conversation, do your words add value and depth or are they distracting?  I think this is something worth considering for all of us.  I believe that our words would be kinder and more compassionate.  I believe there would be less gossip and more meaningful exchanges between people.  I believe that we would think before we said something that we might regret.  So, the next time you are getting ready to break the silence with your words, consider their value.

Stay true and be you —
