Naming the personal benefits of Silence is easy. We feel a new sense of freedom and a capacity to be ourselves again. We may be shocked to notice that we had not even realized we had lost ourselves. We find a new attunement to spirit as a directly felt reality. We gain the capacity of reflection, of letting the world and the things and others mirror within us, rather than ceaselessly going from one activity to the next.
— Robert Sardello, Silence
