Silence is something more than no sound. We must quiet our interior selves, too. If you haven’t noticed, our minds love to wander all over the universe even when we’re “quiet.” Distraction from within is just as problematic as exterior disturbance. St. Teresa says to just laugh at distractions and give them back to God as part of prayer, but it’s better if we’re never distracted in the first place. That’s why silence must be cultivated in every area of life. |
