Favete Linguis! Horace declared. With silence favour me.
The physicist J Robert Oppenheimer said that scientists 'live always at the "edge of mystery"--the boundary of the unknown.' And so can we all, on the cusp of quietude; for dwelling within it we are on the edge of mystery and release. We can feel the loosening in our shoulders and our neck and the softening of the clench in our face as we surrender to it.
Nikki Gemmell, On Quiet, 9-10.
