The Quakers were big on silence. My siblings went to a college near Philadelphia founded by Quakers, and at the graduation ceremonies, they had moments of silence. I'm not talking about a 20 second moment of silence, or a minute long moment of silence. These moments were at least 5 minutes long or so. Maybe even 10. And they were really nice.
People blather too much sometimes.
Sometimes it's important to speak up. But sometimes it's important to just be silent and mindful.
