Proverbs 17:28 KJV — Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
There’s a wisdom in the act of not saying. There’s a wisdom when you wrap a moment in a cloak of “not speaking”. Total silence. No erms, uhs, or other vocal litter that many cast on the pristine beaches of each moment.
Embrace not saying. Embrace not playing. Embrace not speaking. Embrace leaving space for them to count your silence as wise. Embrace offering a space for them to hear themselves think in your presence.
Embrace the joy of allowing the other person to hear the voice of their wisdom in your silence.
