The present state of the world and the whole of life is diseased. If I were a doctor and my advice asked, I should reply, "Create silence. Bring people to silence. The word of God cannot be heard in the noisy world of today. Therefore, create silence."
Work comes from the depth of our silence connected to the silent suffering, the silent needs, and the silent joy of others.
~from THE REINVENTION OF WORK by Matthew Fox
