The Gift of Silence

"Dice qualcosa, Luca. Non tenere il silenzio," the mother of our host, said to me, in the midst of dinner at a restaurant, widely touted to have the best pizzas in Turin.

I just smiled at her and continued to remain quiet. She had asked me to say something and not remain silent.

I had been enjoying the conversation of the others at the dinner. It was one of the best meals I ever had.

I would usually prefer to remain silent while others talked and talked whenever I got together with friends. Silence was a gift I would always remember to bring them!

Learn to be silent.
Let your quiet mind listen and absorb.
