What a thoughtful piece. This comes from one who has had to learn that silent moments do not need to be filled with chatter. In fact, my grandfather was often very quiet among a family of (loud) talkers and his silence made him look very smart, as though he was always contemplating.
I related best to Ecclesiastes 3. Maybe because of “Turn! Turn! Turn!” by the Byrds but also because the passage instructs us that there are times for everything.
Hi Joan - so nice to connect with you here. On the Ecclesiastes 3 quote that there is a time for everything - this really resonates with me too. After I became a mother, my mother-in-law gave me this advice and it meant a lot to me.
