The Sufi poet, Rumi, offered this musing on releasing thoughts in the form of speech, “Before your words are uttered, let them pass through three gates:
Is what I am about to say true?
Is what I am about to say kind?
And is what I am about to say necessary?”
If not, release into silence. We’ll do just that.
Enjoy.
