230226 What I learned in my studies this morning 3

Early morning dark

Still shrouds with deepest hollows.

Philosophy before dawn.

Thoughts:

I like mornings when I wake up early and have some quiet time to myself.  Introspection comes easier before sunrise. 

Today I'm meditating on quietude. On speaking only when what I have to say is true, necessary, and kind. Only when it will be better than silence.

I'm not usually a huge talker. I'm not the most laconic guy, but generally, I speak less than whomever I'm with.  Mostly due introversion than wisdom, but hey . . .  It's something.

I do, though, do my best to follow the old maxim: never miss a good chance to shut up.
