Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
~ Dr. Howard Thurman
When we make a place for silence, we make room for ourselves. By making room for silence, we resist the forces of the world which tell us to live an advertised life of surface appearances, instead of a discovered life — a life lived in contact with our senses, our feelings, our deepest thoughts and values.
